A White Collar reboot is officially on the way, with creator Jeff Eastin and the main cast set to return.
White Collar fans can’t seem to let the beloved series go, so much so that creator Jeff Eastin confirmed that the police procedural will be back for more.
During a White Collar panel as part of theVariety TV Fest, Eastin revealed to those in attendance that he is working on a White Collar Reboot.

“It honors Willie, too, in a profound way,” DeKay began. Thiessen then added, “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.”

For those who have seen the original White Collar series, its revival could go in any direction given the finale left things wide open — a fact Eastin noted as being a driving force in encouraging him to return and write more.
“If you get to the finale, with Neal [Bomer] walking in Paris, that was always the setup,” he said. “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.’”
