Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Lincoln Lawyer season 3!Neve Campbell returns as Maggie McPherson in The Lincoln Lawyer season 3, but her role is limited compared to previous installments in the Netflix show. Based on the book series by Michael Connelly, The Lincoln Lawyer centers on defense lawyer Mickey Haller. Maggie is Mickey's first ex-wife and the mother of his only child, so she plays an important role in The Lincoln Lawyer's cast. Campell's character is also a criminal prosecutor, meaning her professional life overlaps with Mickey's throughout the show's first two seasons.

Season 1 focused on "The Brass Verdict," while The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 adapted "The Fifth Witness." The season featured Mickey and Maggie working on their relationship, and there was even a tease that the pair could be rekindling their romance. The notion was short-lived, however, when Maggie revealed that she was relocating to San Diego for a new job.
