The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 keeps Eddie’s memory alive — how Mickey’s imprisonment changes the game without losing the heart of the team
The Lincoln Lawyer’s latest season promises intense drama and unexpected twists, but one thing’s clear: the show won’t rush to replace Eddie Rojas, Mickey Haller’s trusted driver and newest team member who tragically died in season 3. After being falsely accused of a crime, Eddie quickly became a vital part of Mickey’s circle — a loyal friend and a sharp driver helping unravel the mystery behind Gloria Dayton’s murder. His shocking death in a brutal car attack left a lasting void, fueling Mickey’s relentless quest for justice.
Now, season 4 opens with Mickey framed for the murder of Sam Scales and locked behind bars — a shocking turn that changes everything. With Mickey imprisoned, there’s no room for a new driver to take Eddie’s place, as Mickey can no longer be chauffeured around for his investigations. Instead, the spotlight shifts to the rest of the team, especially Lorna, who steps up to lead the legal fight after passing the California Bar Exam. The dynamic changes, but Eddie’s memory remains at the core, a reminder of what’s at stake.

It didn’t take long for Eddie to find his place with the rest of Mickey’s team,
Eddie’s impact on the show was immediate and profound. His innocence and dedication made him more than just a driver — he was a symbol of hope and loyalty, a bright presence in a dark world. Introducing a new character to fill his shoes too soon would risk losing that emotional connection. By focusing on Mickey’s battle from behind bars and the team’s efforts to clear his name, the series honors Eddie’s legacy and deepens the story’s emotional stakes.
Though fans may wonder if a new driver will eventually join the team, The Lincoln Lawyer wisely gives itself space to mourn Eddie and rebuild organically. If the show continues beyond season 4, a new character might arrive, but for now, the series embraces the power of memory and friendship, proving that sometimes the biggest loss shapes the strongest fight.
As filming continues, viewers can prepare for a season filled with courtroom drama, personal sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds that define Mickey’s world — all while remembering Eddie, the driver who became family.
