The Netflix series is concluding with its fifth season, but a beloved character will be missing from the final episodes. The show's creators have made it clear that this decision was not made lightly, as the character's absence will be deeply felt by the main character, Mickey Haller.

## Key takeaways

- The Lincoln Lawyer's final season will be the first without the show's secret weapon, David 'Legal' Siegel.
- Elliott Gould's character was a key part of the series since season one, providing a sense of stability and warmth to Mickey's life.
- Although it's possible that Gould's character could return in a different way, a flashback doesn't feel like a necessary part of the story.
