With the titular character in place thanks to the casting of Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller in the TV adaptation of The Lincoln Lawyer, the ensemble around him is coming together. Neve Campbell is the latest addition.
Campbell will play Maggie McPherson. Maggie is Mickey’s first ex-wife, a passionately committed Deputy District Attorney known to colleagues as “Maggie McFierce” for her unwavering dedication to her job. Although frequent tensions (both professional and personal) erupt between Mickey and Maggie, underneath it all they still care very deeply for one another. They are also both intensely loyal and loving co-parents to their tween-age daughter, Hayley.
Adapted from Michael Connelly's book series (the first season will be drawn from the second tome, The Brass Verdict) by David E. Kelly and Ted Humphrey, the show was originally developed at CBS before moving to Netflix.
