Former Marvel alum and \u201cHow I Met Your Mother\u201d star Cobie Smulders is set to headline a spin-off of Netflix\u2019s \u201cThe Lincoln Lawyer\u201d TV series.<\/p>\n

In the series, she plays Mickey Haller\u2019s half-sister Artemisia \u2018Emi\u2019 Finch. She was introduced in the show towards the end of the fourth season and is a regular in the upcoming fifth and final season.<\/p>\n

That fifth season sees Haller, following a plea by his half-sister, to take on a case to help free a wrongfully convicted woman. Filming has reportedly wrapped on the final run, which is expected to launch sometime next year.<\/p>\n

Smulders\u2019 character does not appear in Michael Connelly\u2019s books, which the show is based on \u2013 she is an original character designed for the show. She is essentially filling in the gap made by Hieronymous \u2018Harry\u2019 Bosch, Mickey\u2019s half-brother and the lead of rival Amazon\u2019s \u201cBosch\u201d franchise.<\/p>\n

If greenlit for production \u2013 and some deals have to be closed before it does \u2013 the franchise will expand with Smulders\u2019 show, and various characters from \u201cThe Lincoln Lawyer\u201d could well appear in the new series, which aims to shoot in Los Angeles and is seeking a California tax credit.<\/p>\n

Executive producers Ted Humphrey, Dailyn Rodriguez, and Matthew J. Lieberman reportedly worked on the concept for some time and recently pitched the idea to Netflix, which bought it and commissioned a script from the three of them.<\/p>\n
