Netflix has officially announced a new legal thriller series that aims to fill the void left by the upcoming end of The Lincoln Lawyer. The streamer is developing a television remake of the 1979 Al Pacino classic, And Justice for All, bringing a gritty, modern take on the story of an idealistic attorney battling a corrupt legal system.
According to sources, Jeremy Miller and Dan Cohn are in the early stages of writing the project. The series is described as a “gritty look inside an idealistic attorney’s flawed life as he struggles with a corrupted legal system until he finally snaps.” While no casting or release date has been announced, Netflix’s track record for fast-tracking new shows suggests a potential premiere as soon as next year. Al Pacino is not involved in the remake, but The Lincoln Lawyer executive producer Ross Fineman is attached to produce.
This news comes after Netflix confirmed that The Lincoln Lawyer will end with its upcoming fifth season. The show, starring Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller, has been a major hit for the platform, adapting Michael Connelly’s popular novels. The series follows Haller, a Los Angeles defense attorney who runs his practice from the back seat of his Lincoln, taking on high-stakes criminal cases while navigating personal challenges and buried secrets.
With The Lincoln Lawyer wrapping up, Netflix is clearly looking to maintain its foothold in the legal thriller genre. The And Justice for All series promises a darker, more intense exploration of the justice system, echoing the film’s themes of corruption and moral compromise. Fans of legal dramas can look forward to a fresh take on a beloved story.
For those who haven't seen the original, And Justice for All stars Al Pacino as a Baltimore lawyer who takes on a case involving a judge accused of rape, exposing the deep flaws in the legal system. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards, including Best Actor for Pacino.
While waiting for the new series, viewers can catch up on the first four seasons of The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix. Season 5 is expected to premiere before the end of next year. For more on what to watch, check out our list of New Netflix Shows to Binge Watch June 2026.

The And Justice for All remake joins a growing trend of TV adaptations of iconic movies, offering both nostalgia and fresh storytelling. With a proven producer like Ross Fineman at the helm, the series has strong potential to become a new flagship legal drama for the platform.
