CBS may not be proceeding with The Lincoln Lawyer, its high-profile legal drama from David E. Kelley, but Michael Connelly — whose bestselling novels the project is based on — says the show has other suitors in the works. "The good thing is there appears to be people, networks and so forth that want to just step in and take it," the author told the newly launched Bestsellers podcast from Natalie Jamieson and Phil Williams in an episode due to go live on Thursday.
Connelly also confirmed that Amazon was among those he was talking to, adding such a deal would give the streamer the opportunity to eventually blend The Lincoln Lawyer with its police procedural drama Bosch, also created by Connelly and now on its sixth season.
