A spinoff of “The Lincoln Lawyer” starring Cobie Smulders is in early development at Netflix.
According to Deadline, which first reported news of the project, the series would center around Smulders reprising her “Lincoln Lawyer” role as Mickey Haller’s (Manuel Garcia Rulfo) half-sister, Artemisia “Emi” Finch. The character debuted in the Season 4 finale of “The Lincoln Lawyer” back in February and is set to return in the upcoming fifth and final season.
Per the description for “The Lincoln Lawyer” Season 5, which will be based on the Michael Connelly novel “Resurrection Walk” and will consist of 10 episodes:
“Mickey Haller’s (Manuel Garcia Rulfo) world is upended when the half-sister he never knew existed, Emi (Cobie Smulders), comes to him with a plea to help free a wrongfully convicted woman. In a season defined by blood ties and buried secrets, Mickey takes on a grueling habeas petition to overturn a six-year-old murder conviction, but the deeper he digs the more nefarious the forces arrayed against him become. Meanwhile, the stakes rise for his trusted team as Lorna (Becki Newton), Izzy (Jazz Raycole), and Cisco (Angus Sampson) step up to tackle high-profile challenges of their own. Having just saved himself from a wrongful conviction in Season 4, Mickey is now determined to set right an enormous miscarriage of justice. But as he unravels a dangerous web of corruption and lies, he must grapple with the fractured legacy of his family — both his chosen family and the family he never knew he had.”
