D E PA R T M E N T Debuting in February from Netflix and Titmouse, Strip Law has all the makings of a classic legal comedy. Sad sack lawyer Lincoln Gumb has been fired from the law firm where his recently deceased mother was a partner. He finds himself pairing up with irreverent magician Sheila Flambé, and episodes have the twosome and their ragtag team taking on only-in-Las Vegas cases. This, though, is where the similarity to any known law series ends. The show's creator, Cullen Crawford, didn't start out with a burning desire to make a legal series. With a background on shows as varied as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Paradise PD, the first- time Showrunner was looking for his next project when he was in Vegas with a group of friends. Rather than go out on the town, they stayed in watching Saturday Night Live, and "every ad was a lawyer ad," Crawford says. DUI lawyers, personal injury lawyers—you name it. SPRING 2026 27
