“We’re so excited to share the upcoming fourth season with the audience on February 5th, and even more excited to share the news that we’re already hard at work on the next one.  Season 4 is the most challenging and intensely personal journey we’ve taken Mickey Haller on yet, and we’re thrilled and grateful to be able to continue the ride in Season Five.”

One of the many good things that we can say about the early renewal right now is that it offers the cast and crew a chance to get back to work earlier — they do not have to sit around to see what Netflix wants to do with the story! the quicker turnaround is a good thing.
