Despite the official announcement of The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 on August 30, following the launch of part 2 season 2 on August 3, 2023, production remained on hold due to the labor strikes by WGA and SAG-AFTRA. The show's development, including writing and filming, was prohibited at the time. So The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 filming is likely to commence in late 2023 or sometime in 2024.

Notably, season 2 took 14 months to release after the debut of the first season in May 2022. Therefore, depending on when The Lincoln Lawyer season 3's production kicks off, viewers can anticipate its arrival in mid-2025.

Given the release patterns of the previous two installments, The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 is expected to premiere on Netflix in the Summer of 2024, with the possible guess being in the month of August
