Manuel Garcia-Rulfo moves onto first project away from Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer
WARNING: This article contains spoilers from The Lincoln Lawyer.
The Lincoln Lawyer's leading man Manuel Garcia-Rulfo is temporarily leaving his days on the hit Netflix legal drama behind in favour of a mega movie franchise.
With a legion of fans of the show's original books by author Michael Connelly and its impressive 90 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it's no wonder The Lincoln Lawyer continues to be a hit on Netflix.
Starring Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as the Lincoln-based lawyer himself Mickey Haller, the show has been on since 2022 and will be back for a fourth outing following that particularly shocking season three cliffhanger.
So far, there has been no word on exactly when The Lincoln Lawyer will be returning, just that the new episodes could drop sometime either later this year or early 2026.
But in the meantime, actor Garcia-Rulfo has found himself another high-profile project to keep him busy.
Garcia-Rulfo will be jumping into the Jurassic Park franchise for the upcoming Jurassic World: Rebirth which is to be released on Wednesday, 2nd July.
The film is to be the seventh in the overall franchise, fourth in the Jurassic World series and is seen as a direct sequel to Jurassic World: Dominion.
He is listed to portray a new character called Reuben Delgado, 'the father of a shipwrecked civilian family', who are bound to experience the terrifying dinosaurs up close and personal.
Garcia-Rulfo will be working alongside The Avengers' Scarlett Johansson, Bridgerton and Wicked star Jonathan Bailey and award-winning Moonlight actor Mahershala Ali.
In the final few moments of The Lincoln Lawyer season three, police discovered the body of former client Sam Scales (Christopher Thornton) in Mickey's trunk.
Completely stunned by how the body got into his car, Mickey was subsequently arrested but who is trying to frame the lawyer and how will he get out of this mess?
Season four is going to be based on author Connelly's sixth book in The Lincoln Lawyer series, The Law of Innocence.

Stranger Things teaser promises explosive finale as fans worry for characters' fate
Stranger Things is returning this November for the fifth and final season, with fans worrying about the fate of some of the characters Netflix just dropped a teaser trailer for season five of Stranger Things, airing almost a decade after the very first episode was released. The almost three-minute-long trailer made fans panic about the fate of a beloved character as they rushed to social media to beg for their safety. Fans noticed a lot of crying in the trailer, making them question who will be meeting their demise. The trailer starts off with the main characters waiting around in what appears to be a bunker as a voice rings out: "Burn commencing in five... four... three... two... and one," before writing appeared on screen telling fans the show is coming out in November. One scene shows Lucas Sinclair, played by Caleb McLaughlin, crying as he sat by a hospital bed occupied by a unconscious girl - who fans are convinced is Max Mayfield (played by Sadie Sink). Later in the trailer, Lucas was seen protecting what could be the same person, now awake and rocking a hospital gown. In the previous season, Max was left comatose after a harrowing encounter with Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), and despite Eleven's (Millie Bobby Brown) efforts, she remained unresponsive in a hospital bed as the season concluded. Another showcased Dustin Henderson (played by Gaten Matarazzo) kneeling by Edward Munson's (Joseph Quinn) grave, which was vandalised with the words 'Burn in hell.' "This thing," one voice said. "It ties us together. Forever." Fans were over the moon with the trailer as they rushed to the comment section to share their excitement over the upcoming release. One user said on Netflix's Instagram post: "Oh my gosh. Goosebumps," while another posted: "Please, leave my favourite character alive. my man Steve Harrington." Another repeated to themself: "Steve is safe steve is safe steve is safe steve is safe steve is safe," while one worried fan commented: "When Steve is hugging Dustin that looks like something bad just happened." The much-anticipated final season of Stranger Things is set in the autumn of 1987, and according to the official synopsis: "Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. "But he has vanished - his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. "As the anniversary of Will's disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. "The final battle is looming - and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they've faced before. To end this nightmare, they'll need everyone - the full party - standing together, one last time."

Harry's ‘peace talks' have scheming Meghan's hand all over them, he looks lost in his sad little life, expert slams
PRINCE Harry's "peace talks" with King Charles feels like it has Meghan's "game plan" all over them, a royal expert has claimed. The Duke of Sussex is said to have recently 'given his blessing' for the talks involving two of his team plus the King and Queen's director of communications. 3 Prince Harry is said to be ready to talk to his dad the King after approving a peace summit between their aides Credit: Splash 3 Harry flew to the UK 18 months ago after Charles's cancer diagnosis, but was given just 30 minutes with his dad Credit: Splash 3 But some royal experts believe it could be influenced by Meghan's 'planning' Credit: AP They spoke about potential ways to end their family conflict, though a proposal for Harry to make a royal return was not on the agenda. California-based Harry is next due to visit the UK in September for the annual WellChild events. It opens up the prospect of meeting his father for the first time in 18 months. The Sun's royal editor Matt Wilkinson spoke to two experts on our Royal Exclusive show to discuss the latest developments. Read More in Royals HEIR B&B King letting out Sandringham estate property to tourists for an eye-watering sum Sarah Hewson and Valentine Low shared their thoughts on the size of the task ahead - with Harry feuding with his family for years now. The experts also pondered how Meghan's influence could affect the situation and any prospect of reconciliation. Royal writer Low claimed that any "peace talks" could only benefit Meghan. The former correspondent for The Times said: "There's also the interesting question, perhaps quite cynically, if they reconcile and the relationship with the royal family becomes one of warmth. "I think it will only do Meghan's reputation something good and help her expand brand Meghan." Hewson agreed and claimed it could be another one of Meghan's "schemes". The royal correspondent added: "Meghan is someone with a game plan. Huge Prince Harry update as he arranges peace summit with King Charles 'within weeks' - but has no plans to meet William "Nothing happens by accident and I think Harry relies on Meghan for a lot of guidance through life. "Meghan's got her own plans and business. What is Harry's?" "He does look lost and isolated by himself in Montecito. His father's health is certainly a big wake up call. The royal correspondent added: "I think for these talks to happen, Harry will need to speak to his father one-on-one. "This will be really important as there is a big trust issue." In September the King should still be on holiday at his Balmoral retreat, ahead of hosting US President Donald Trump in the middle of the month. On the weekend, Charles, 76 - whose cancer treatment continues - was pictured leaving a church service in the West Country. In May Harry appeared to have torpedoed reconciliation efforts during a catastrophic and ill- advised interview with the BBC in which he moaned 'the King won't speak to me'. But photos published at the weekend showed the King and Queen's director of communications Tobyn Andreae with Meredith Maines, chief communications officer for Harry's charity Archewell, and its UK and Europe communications manager Liam Maguire. They met on the balcony of the members-only Royal Over-Seas League club a short walk from Buckingham Palace before continuing inside. 'Harry's blessing' It is understood the face-to-face meeting was held to discuss avoiding media clashes and conflicts around calendar dates. Discussions were not held about Prince Harry returning to a more formal royal role. A source claimed: 'The meeting was with Harry's blessing.' Buckingham Palace had also supported the proposals to 'open a channel of communication' — having agreed to them within the past two weeks, it has been claimed. But adding intrigue to the developments, Prince William's team were not involved in the London summit. There was no contact between Harry's team and one working for William and Kate — or any invitation for face-to-face meetings. In September Kate and William will be returning from their summer break with a string of major engagements. There have also been claims Harry will invite members of his estranged family to the Invictus Games when it is held in Birmingham in two years' time. Just two months ago Harry hit out at his father in a BBC interview. It came barely hours after he lost a High Court case asking for taxpayer-funded gun cops despite not being a working royal.

Stripped across 10 episodes, fans wondered how the show would address the unexpected death of the singer - especially after reports that there were plans to cut down Liam's presence in the show. However, at the start of the episode, AJ addressed the audience with a powerful message, moving viewers to tears. 'When we came together to film building the band we never imagined we'd soon be saying goodbye to our friend Liam Payne,' he began as it faded out to a series of images and clips of the singer on the show. He continued: 'Liam is a guest judge in later episodes, and through his presence, we see his deep love for music and his unwavering commitment to helping others find their voice. It's through that spirit that we dedicate this series to Liam and his family.' Building The Band is available to stream exclusively on Netflix now.
