As an ardent admirer of captivating TV dramas, I'm thrilled to share that the fan-favorite series “White Collar” is making a much-anticipated return! Quite the treat for fans both old and new, the series creator Jeff Eastin has confirmed that the “White Collar” reboot is officially underway. First premiering in 2009, the show ran for an impressive six seasons until 2014, and it seems like it left quite a lasting impression.
At Variety‘s TV Fest, Eastin announced, “We're gonna reboot. I'm writing the script,” with Matt Bomer, who played the suave con man Neal Caffrey, enthusiastically exclaiming, “I'm in.” But that's not all; co-stars Tim DeKay and Tiffani Thiessen are also on board, ready to reprise their respective roles. DeKay, who portrayed FBI Special Agent Peter Burke, noted: “It's a fantastic script and it answers all the questions that one would have if you watch the show, and it would introduce the show to those who haven't seen it as well. Both edges of the sword are honed.”
For those who might need a refresher, “White Collar” centers on the unlikely partnership between the charming Neal Caffrey, a con artist, and Peter Burke, the dedicated FBI agent. Originally part of USA Network's iconic ‘blue sky shows'—which included other series like “Suits” and “Burn Notice”—“White Collar” was celebrated for its clever storytelling and sunny locales.
The impetus behind the reboot stems from a recent resurgence in popularity. Following the success of “Suits” on Netflix last summer, Hulu is banking on a similar wave of nostalgia by reintroducing “White Collar.” Jeff Eastin even mentioned that the current numbers indicate “the show is doing really, really good,” making this the perfect moment to bring back the world of high-stakes deception.
While an exact release date hasn't been nailed down, with Fox Television Studios at the helm of production for the reboot, hints suggest that Hulu might be the final landing spot for the new episodes—further building on its impressive catalog.
Whether you're revisiting the series or discovering it for the first time, the “White Collar” reboot promises to deliver both nostalgia and new excitement. With the original cast reunited and Jeff Eastin leading the charge, fans can look forward to another intricate web of cons, crimes, and clever comeuppances—don't miss out!
