"White Collar" Reboot in Development

The 2009 TV series "White Collar" was one of the best crime drama shows, which ran from 2009 to 2014 on the USA Network. 

All six seasons of "White Collar" are available to stream in the US for Netflix subscribers in a move that could ultimately lead to a reboot of the popular procedural drama.

It starred Matt Bomer as a charismatic con man, Neal Caffery, Tim DeKay as FBI agent Peter Burke, Tiffani Thiessen as Peter’s wife Elizabeth, and Willie Garson as Caffery's paranoid friend Theodore "Mozzie" Winter, and more.

The cast delivered a thrilling blend of comedy and crime drama. 

Bomer has been riding a brilliant wave of success in recent months. The actor's brilliance has been on show alongside Bradley Cooper in Maestro, where Bomer played David Oppenheim, who had an affair with Leonard Bernstein. 

Another of his most recent roles sees Bomer portraying Hawkins Fuller in the Paramount+ acclaimed limited series Fellow Travelers. 

However, Bomer's big break came when he began playing Neal Caffery on the USA network, a role that ultimately established him as a household name. 

Speaking with Deadline during The Actor’s Side video series, Bomer revealed that he might not be done with the role, confirming that a revival is "in the works". 

After describing Caffery as a "multi-dimensional guy" who had a "very different public face than a private face" along with his "own set of tragic flaws," Bomer addressed the prospects of a White Collar revival. 

"Yeah, yeah. It is possible. I guess it is technically in the works. You know these things are never quite as easy as you'd want them to be," the actor explained. "And pretty much all of that is out of our control. It seems to be that they are moving in the right direction, and it could be a very real thing in the next year or two." 

Bomer noted that he had served as a producer in the final seasons of the original White Collar, confirming that he could come on board as a producer on a rebooted series. 

The comments aren't the first wherein the actor has speculated on the prospect of a revival of the series.

Last year, the actor revealed they were in "legitimate talks" regarding the return of the fan-favorite procedural drama. “It’s actually very legitimate talk, it’s in conversation,” he said, then added, “a lot of things need to fall into place, but there is a plan in effect, at least, so we’ll see what happens,”
