Mickey Haller’s last ride in the back of the Lincoln is still months away, but the final season of ‘The Lincoln Lawyer‘ is already giving fans something to chew on. Filming wrapped in July, and the Netflix legal drama is now in post-production. With no premiere date announced, the episode titles are the closest thing to a preview.

The setup is already clear. The season adapts ‘Resurrection Walk’, the 7th book in Michael Connelly’s series, and centers on a case that is personal for Mickey. According to the official logline, his world is upended when Emi, the half-sister he never knew existed, asks him to help free a wrongfully convicted woman.

Now the full list of episode titles is out, according to What’s on Netflix. The titles are ‘Artemisia’, ‘Article 1, Section 9’, ‘Roots’, ‘Table 12’, ‘Sucker Punch’, ‘Chemistry Problem’, ‘Footprints’, ‘Overtime’, ‘Do or Die’ and ‘Resurrection Walk’. Only 2 placements are confirmed so far, with ‘Sucker Punch’ as episode 5 and ‘Chemistry Problem’ as episode 6.

The titles for the first 4 episodes were previously reported as ‘Artemisia’, ‘Article 1, Section 9’, ‘Roots’ and ‘Table 12’, though their exact order within that group is not confirmed. The same goes for the last 4, which are ‘Footprints’, ‘Overtime’, ‘Do or Die’ and ‘Resurrection Walk’. What’s on Netflix offered a best-guess order that follows the sequence above, but that remains speculation.

The writing credits help fill in the picture. Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez are credited on the premiere and the finale, with Humphrey directing episode 1. Rodriguez is directing episodes 5 and 6, and she was the one who first shared the titles of those 2 episodes.

Some of the titles point to obvious story threads. Emi’s full name is Artemisia Finch, so ‘Artemisia’ may spotlight her role in Mickey’s life early on. ‘Article 1, Section 9’ refers to the part of the U.S. Constitution that protects habeas corpus, which may be where Mickey files his petition on behalf of the wrongfully convicted woman.

Others are harder to read. ‘Table 12’ could refer to a seating chart, a prison visiting room or a piece of evidence, while ‘Chemistry Problem’ may involve gunshot residue evidence or hint at a romance. Those readings are the outlet’s speculation, not confirmed plot details.

The finale title is the clearest signal. ‘Resurrection Walk’ shares its name with the book the season adapts, and the series has a pattern of naming late episodes after books. The show has done this before, including ‘The Fifth Witness’, which landed as episode 9 in season 2.

Emi has become a central figure in the final stretch. Cobie Smulders plays Emi Finch, who walked up to Mickey in the season 4 finale and introduced herself as his sister. That scene came right after she saved him from a drive-by shooting, which is why her arrival landed as such a cliffhanger. The Week reported that the character exists partly because Netflix could not use Harry Bosch, Mickey’s half-brother in Connelly’s novels.

Deadline reported in August that Netflix is developing a series centered on Smulders’ character, according to 3DVF’s coverage. Netflix has not described what that project would look like in the coverage I found.

Manuel Garcia-Rulfo returns as Mickey, with Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson and Neve Campbell also back. New additions include Chris Diamantopoulos as Frank Silver and Iker Garcia as Rafa Wagner, and Reece the dog is returning too. IBTimes reported that Yaya DaCosta is not expected to return because her character does not appear in the source material for the final season.

Netflix has not announced a premiere date. Connelly has pointed to March 2027, according to Netflix Junkie and others, while What’s on Netflix and IBTimes expect a window between February and April 2027 based on how long earlier seasons spent in post-production.

Until a date and a trailer arrive, the titles will have to do as the best clue to how Mickey’s final case unfolds.
