- *The Lincoln Lawyer *season 4 hit Netflix on Feb. 5, 2026.

- Yaya DaCosta's Andy Freeman wasn't part of the fourth season.

- The actress said her absence came as a total surprise.

Since it first hit Netflix in 2022, *The Lincoln Lawyer* has emerged as one of the streamer's best legal dramas. The series returned for season 4 on Feb. 5, following Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) as he finds himself in the hot seat after being framed for murder.

As he fights to clear his name, viewers will notice one big absence: Yaya DaCosta, who played Mickey's foe-turned-lover Andrea "Andy" Freeman.

Before season 4 premiered, it was confirmed that DaCosta wouldn't be back. Here's everything we know about why she left *The Lincoln Lawyer*.

Who did Yaya DaCosta play on The Lincoln Lawyer?

On *The Lincoln Lawyer*, DaCosta played prosecutor Andy Freeman. Introduced in season 2, Andy quickly became one of Mickey's fiercest opponents in the courtroom.

DaCosta previously told Tudum that Andy is a "believer in justice" who thrives on seeing the truth prevail. "Andrea got into this in order to serve," she said. "She didn't get into it to become a famous hotshot lawyer. She's not interested in the glitz and glamour [like] Mickey seems to be. She's used to being on top, but her drive isn't entirely selfish … She wants to be on the right side of these stories."

By season 3, Andy's relationship with Mickey turned romantic, which made things a bit complicated given her friendship with his ex-wife, Maggie McPherson (Neve Campbell).

'The Lincoln Lawyer' season 5: What we know about Mickey's next case (and Cobie Smulders' mysterious role)

Showrunner Ted Humphrey told TV Insider that the decision to expand Andy's role came down to the "great chemistry" between Haller and DaCosta.

"Yaya's performance is fantastic as Andrea," he shared. "Andrea is not even a part of this story in the book, but we so enjoyed that performance from season 2, and we so enjoyed the chemistry between the two characters that we just felt this was one of those ways that we expand the books."

When Netflix released the season 4 cast list, fans immediately noticed that DaCosta was missing. And when the season premiered, the character was only referenced in passing, never appearing onscreen.

One possible explanation comes from the source material. Season 4 adapts *The Law of Innocence*, which finds Mickey being framed for murder. It leaves very little room for any personal subplots, including his romance with Andy. Season 4 does, however, bring Maggie back in a larger role and even hints at possible reconciliation between them.

In April 2025, DaCosta spoke about her abrupt season 3 exit with TV Insider. "Andrea's absence was not expected or explained to the audience," she said. "Sometimes when things like this happen, the writers will give an explanation in a conversation between two characters who are on the show. Or someone will make a phone call and pretend the disappeared character is on the other end. Who knows what they'll do? I'm just focusing on the now and future."

Humphrey addressed her absence following the season 4 premiere. "Especially when you're doing shows on a platform like Netflix and you only have 10 episodes to work with, your storytelling is necessarily very constricted," he told TV Insider. "If it were a network show and we had 22 episodes a season, there'd be a lot of room for a lot of side stories with a lot of different characters and you really have to be focused in 10 episodes. And so we'd love to have all of our great characters on all the time. There's just not enough stories to tell with them."

He did, however, say that he's open to bringing her back in the fold in future seasons. "We feel like we have a really great palette of characters to play with, and so you can bring them in and out of the stories," he said, adding that "Andrea is a great tool in our toolbox that we would love to find another way to use." **

Ryan Gosling is returning to "Saturday Night Live!"

The "Barbie" star, 45, will be back in Studio 8H for the sketch comedy series' March 7 episode, NBC has announced. He'll be joined by musical guest Gorillaz.

This will be Gosling's fourth time hosting "SNL." He most recently did so in 2024, when he was promoting his action-comedy "The Fall Guy."

Gosling's 2024 "SNL" episode was a hit with fans and featured the viral "Beavis and Butt-Head" sketch, in which he and Mikey Day played two members of an audience who unintentionally derail an event due to their uncanny resemblance to the cartoon characters. The sketch was so popular that Gosling and Day reprised the roles at the Los Angeles premiere of "The Fall Guy."

Ryan Gosling speaks onstage at CinemaCon on April 2, 2025, in Las Vegas.

Gosling's latest "SNL" hosting stint will come ahead of the release of his new science-fiction movie "Project Hail Mary," which is based on the Andy Weir novel and hits theaters on March 20. Gorillaz will be making their debut as an "SNL" musical guest. The band's latest album, "The Mountain," will be released on Feb. 27.

James Van Der Beek's family is looking for their financial path forward after the actor's death at 48

Fans of his career have questioned why the actor wasn't put on the path to financial success after six seasons as Dawson Leery on Dawson's Creek

Van Der Beek opened up about his financial situation, advocating for himself and others in recent years

Fans of James Van Der Beek and Dawson's Creek are looking for answers after learning his family is struggling financially following his death.

On Feb. 11, the actor's wife, Kimberly Van Der Beek, announced the news that he died at age 48 after a journey with stage 3 colorectal cancer. Shortly after, friends helped set up a GoFundMe on behalf of the family. In 24 hours, over $1 million had been raised.

"In the wake of this loss, Kimberly and the children are facing an uncertain future," the GoFundMe description reads. "The costs of James's medical care and the extended fight against cancer have left the family out of funds.

James Van Der Beek and family

The GoFundMe follows months of other fundraising efforts for the family, which included selling off memorabilia from some of his biggest roles. It has left many fans wondering how the star of such a prominent hit could have had such a difficult time financially.

The answer is complicated. In part, there's the fact that per the CDC, colorectal cancer has the second-highest treatment cost of any cancer, accounting for 11.6% of all cancer treatment costs. Their statistics indicate that as of 2020, end-of-life costs, for the last year of a patient's life, were the highest that they are throughout the illness.

As for Van Der Beek's time on television for Dawson's Creek, the actor himself spoke candidly about it in 2012.

"There was no residual money," he told TODAY.com. "I was 20. It was a bad contract. I saw almost nothing from that."

In the 2012 interview, he said he signed on for the show, Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, which premiered that year, "when the [Dawson's Creek] money ran out."

He explained that he "buckled down" and signed on for projects around that time to provide for his family. "It is very easy if you have all the money in the world to just sit back and coast. But if you realized that you are going to have to start providing for yourself and for your family, it really forces you to buckle down," he shared.

Rachel True, who appeared on two episodes of Dawson's Creek, noted in a tweet that shows that did not air on network television are impacted by residuals rules.

"TV shows not on ABC, CBS, or NBC are considered already 'syndicated' & all that means they don't have to pay proper residuals to actors. It F's actors like James out of their deserved financial security & proper legacy," she wrote.

Dawson's Creek aired on the WB for six seasons from 1998 through 2003.

Van Der Beek commented on the residuals situation during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.

Speaking to the reasons behind the strike in an Instagram video showing his support, he explained, "The big things have to do with issues that would allow writers and actors who are just starting out to earn something that looks like a living wage — things like residuals, which have all but disappeared in the streaming era."

"These are nothing to multi-billion dollar corporations, but they're everything to people trying to pay their groceries and their rent."

While there were wins on the subject of residuals at the strike's conclusion, many actors have argued they don't properly account for how streaming views have dwarfed broadcast viewership in recent years.

SAG-AFTRA's post honoring Van Der Beek after his death contains comments and replies filled with criticism of the union's healthcare system, which has come under significant scrutiny in recent years for a work requirement that disqualifies actors who don't meet a certain income threshold or number of days worked over a period of time.

It first became the subject of a lawsuit in 2020, when the number of ongoing productions dwindled significantly as a result of pandemic shutdowns and requirements across different states, leaving many actors faced with losing their health insurance. It was at that time that the union sought to raise the threshold for insurance eligibility to those earning $25,950 a year, from $18,040, per The New York Times.

As of Jan. 1, 2026, an actor must make $28,090, or work 108 "eligibility days" to be covered by the union's insurance. Van Der Beek was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer in August 2023, and had since appeared in four films and three TV series, including two projects which have yet to be released.

More than two decades after Dawson's Creek came to an end, the cast is saying goodbye to James Van Der Beek.

Van Der Beek died in February 2026, nearly three years after he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Van Der Beek is survived by his wife, Kimberly, and their six children.

The popular WB teen drama aired its season finale on May 13, 2003, concluding the journeys of a core group of friends as they experienced the ups and downs of friendship and romance in high school and college. Dawson's Creek was also known for covering heavy issues like mental health, death and homophobia among typical teenage fare like prom dates, new friends and first loves.

Van Der Beek led the ensemble cast as Dawson Leery, a wannabe filmmaker who has his heart set on his own happily ever after with one of his best friends, Joey Potter (Katie Holmes). Dawson's other best friend, Pacey Whitter (Joshua Jackson), and Capeside newbie Jen Lindley (Michelle Williams) put a wrinkle in Dawson's carefully plotted-out future.

Following Van Der Beek's death, Holmes shared a handwritten tribute to her former costar on Instagram, writing, "James, thank you. To share a space with your imagination is sacred — breathing the same air in the land of make believe and trusting that each other's hearts are safe in their expression."

Here's everything to know about where the Dawson's Creek cast is now.

James Van Der Beek as Dawson Leery

Van Der Beek, who played the titular role of Dawson Leery, filled most of his time with TV pursuits, including ABC's comedy Don't Trust the B---- In Apartment 23, on which he played a version of himself — and scored a Teen Choice Award nomination, hearkening back to his Dawson's days.

As an adult, the Pose actor lived in Texas with his wife Kimberly and their six kids: Olivia, Joshua, Annabel, Emilia, Gwendolyn and Jeremiah. In November 2024, he announced that he had been diagnosed with colorectal cancer the year prior.

Van Der Beek's costar Jackson said on The Jennifer Hudson Show in April 2025 that his friend's diagnosis "brought the whole gang back together."

On Feb. 11, 2026, Van Der Beek died three years after his cancer diagnosis, his wife shared in a post on Instagram.

"He met his final days with courage, faith, and grace," she wrote. "There is much to share regarding his wishes, love for humanity and the sacredness of time. Those days will come. For now we ask for peaceful privacy as we grieve our loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend."

Fittingly for the woman who portrayed Capeside High valedictorian Joey Potter, Holmes went back to school for a time after Dawson's Creek, even attending the entertainment, media and sports program at Harvard University to further her skills for her production company, Noelle Productions Inc.

Aside from raising Suri (her daughter with ex-husband Tom Cruise), Holmes has devoted much of her time to film and TV, including multiple stints portraying Jackie Kennedy and directing and co-writing the 2023 film Rare Objects.

Holmes has harbored fond Dawson's memories, previously saying it was a "special show, and I loved every minute of it."

Since Dawson's Creek, Jackson has starred in projects like Fatal Attraction and Doctor Odyssey.

In early 2023, he returned to Wilmington, N.C. — where Dawson's Creek was filmed — to shoot a new series from Ava DuVernay. He also appeared in Karate Kid: Legends in May 2025.

Jackson, who played Pacey Witter in the series, wed Jodie Turner-Smith in 2019, though the pair split in 2023. Together, they have one child.

Michelle Williams as Jen Lindley

Once Capeside's resident occasional bad girl, Williams has "made good" with a serious career on the big screen, earning several Oscar nominations, including a Best Actress nod in 2023 for Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans.

Williams is mom to daughter Matilda Rose with late actor Heath Ledger, as well as three children with husband Thomas Kail.

Since her days playing high-strung Andie McPhee, Meredith Monroe has built her TV-acting résumé with recurring roles on Criminal Minds, Hart of Dixie and 13 Reasons Why, and guest spots on a crop of other popular series.

During a cast reunion interview, she told Entertainment Weekly in March 2018 that shooting the series in Wilmington "was like growing up together."

"I felt like I was so grateful that it was shooting in Wilmington," she continued. "We all got to really connect in a way that I don't think we would have had we been in New York or L.A."

Monroe married Steven Kavovit in 1999, and the pair have at least two kids.

Kerr Smith as Jack McPhee

After playing Jack McPhee, Andie's older brother who comes to terms with his homosexuality throughout the series, Kerr Smith landed roles on The Fosters, Life Unexpected, Charmed and Riverdale.

Smith's favorite memory from Dawson's comes from the actors' group trips to the beach.

"In the summer, we as a cast would go to Masonboro Island [North Carolina]. We'd get out the grill and go Jet Skiing and swimming. It was the most fun I ever had in my life," he previously told PEOPLE.

Off-screen, Smith was married to actress Harmoni Everett from 2003 to 2009.

Busy Philipps, who played Joey Potter's college roommate, has stayed booked and busy on series like Cougar Town and Girls5eva. She also played Regina George's mom in the 2024 musical remake of Mean Girls.

John Wesley Shipp played Mitch Leery on Dawson's Creek.

During the cast's 2018 reunion, he recalled how the series' dialogue was groundbreaking for the times. "I remember a big star who shall remain nameless said to Kevin [Williamson, the show's creator], 'Young people don't talk like that,' " Shipp told Entertainment Weekly. "Kevin said, 'Well, maybe not, but they'd like to.' We had a feeling that we were pioneering a different way of telling stories about young people."

The actor, who was known for playing The Flash in the '90s, came back to the story for The CW series by the same name from 2014 to 2023.

Following her days playing Dawson's anchorwoman mom, Mary-Margaret Humes has acted in several Hallmark and Lifetime TV movies.

She told Entertainment Weekly she happened to be with Van Der Beek the first time he was ever asked for an autograph after Dawson's Creek premiered.

"He signed it and said, 'Oh my God, Mary-Margaret, that was my first!' And, of course, my thought was, 'Oh, honey, hang on,' " she said.

Off-screen, Humes married Raul A. Bruce in 1992.

After Van Der Beek died in February 2026, Humes shared a message to him on Instagram, referencing their final conversations.

"James, my gracious warrior, you fought a hard battle against all odds with such quiet strength and dignity. I will always love and admire you for that," she wrote. "Our last conversations ... merely a few days ago ... are forever sitting softly in my heart for safe keeping."

Since playing big sis to Holmes' Joey, Nina Repeta has continued to act in various films and has sparked a music career, singing everything from the blues to jazz. She is also involved in music therapy, singing jazz in local memory care units.

Repeta's son Banks Repeta, whom she shares with husband Mike Repeta, has also followed in her footsteps by forging his own acting career. He has earned roles in 2021's The Black Phone and 2022's Armageddon Time, the latter of which earned him a Critics' Choice Awards nomination in 2023.

Jen's "Grams" has worked steadily in post-Dawson's years: Mary Beth Peil had recurring roles on The Good Wife and Katy Keene and many turns on Broadway, including the Dowager Empress in Anastasia.

When Williams was honored at the 2022 Gotham Awards, she used her time to thank Peil for influencing her and taking her under her wing.

"Mary Beth Peil was the first artist that I had ever met in my life. She didn't call herself that, but there was something different about her," Williams said. "It was the way she asked questions, the way that she leaned into conversations, and how excited she seemed for every moment of every day on our TV set. And I didn't know what this ineffable quality was, but I knew I wanted to pull my chair closer to hers."

In her personal life, Peil was married to Jerry Kirkbride, with whom she raised two children. The pair divorced in 1993, per The New York Times.
