A White Collar revival is coming. That confirmation comes from series creator Jeff Eastin and members of the cast — Matt Bomer, Tim DeKay, and Tiffany Thiessen. They all spoke about White Collar returning to the small screen on Thursday at an event hosted by Variety. White Collar ran for six seasons on USA Network, with the finale airing in 2014.

No plot details about the series revival were revealed, but scripts have been written. The revival will honor the memory of Willie Garson, who starred as Mozzie in the series. Garson passed away in 2021. Thiessen said the following about the script honoring Garson:

“With such sensitivity and such heart. I told Jeff after I finished it, I literally was so excited, but at the same time had tears in my eyes — for good reason. You captured the suspense, the thrill, the characters and the love in that reboot.”

“It’s a fantastic script and it answers all the questions that one would have if you watch the show,” DeKay said, “and it would introduce the show to those who haven’t seen it as well. Both edges of the sword are honed. It honors Willie, too, in a profound way.”

The ending of White Collar in 2014 was left open-ended, with Neal Caffrey (Bomer) walking away in Paris. Bomer was the first to tease a possible return in November 2023.

Eastin said the following about reviving the series now:

“If you get to the finale, with Neal [Bomer] walking in Paris, that was always the setup. I always left it open, and as the years passed, it seemed more like a distant hope. But say thank you to Suits for starting this streaming trend. They were doing great, and got people watching White Collar now on Netflix. That’s doing really, really good. Off of that, it’s like, ‘Hey, let’s do another one.’”

The series will likely land on Hulu because Disney-owned Fox Television Studios was behind the production of the original series. However, a series order has not been made yet.

What do you think? Did you watch White Collar when it aired? Would you like to revisit the characters today?
