Kiele Sanchez Joins CBS's 'The Lincoln Lawyer' Series

Kiele Sanchez has joined CBS’s upcoming series, The Lincoln Lawyer, Deadline reports.

Based on Michael Connelly’s series of bestselling novels, The Lincoln Lawyer centers on Mickey Haller, an iconoclastic idealist, who runs his law practice out of the back of his Lincoln Town Car, as he takes on cases big and small across the expansive city of Los Angeles.

Kiele is set to play Lorna, Mickey’s second ex-wife and a constant confidante who works as his office manager, running the business side of Mickey’s practice while he traverses the town in his Lincoln.

Part secretary and part therapist, Lorna is supportive and encouraging of Mickey, who’s in recovery from an opioid addiction, but she’s also concerned about him taking on more than he can handle in his first important case back after rehab.

Matthew McConaughey played the role of Mickey in the 2011 film of the same name.
