The series comes with a big series production commitment that includes a sizable penalty fee if CBS does not pick up The Lincoln Lawyer to series.
According to Deadline, Kingdom alumna Kiele Sanchez has been tapped to play the female lead in the CBS drama The Lincoln Lawyer.
The Lincoln Lawyer will be the second series inspired by Connelly’s bestselling novels, following Amazon’s Bosch starring Titus Welliver as detective Harry Bosch.
The series, which will serve as Kelley’s return to broadcast since CBS’ The Crazy Ones in 2013, is currently in development.
