White Collar, a hit USA Network show, is now available on Netflix, following the success of another popular show, Suits. The series follows Neal Caffrey, a charming con artist who teams up with FBI Agent Peter Burke to take down white collar criminals. The show ran for six seasons from 2009 to 2014 during USA Network’s “Blue Sky” era of well-developed procedural shows. The show features familiar supporting stars such as Willie Garson, Hilarie Burton Morgan, and Tiffani Thiessen.
Similar to Suits, White Collar has a crime of the week format with overarching storylines focusing on its main characters. Peter is a dedicated FBI agent, while Neal walks the line between being a man of the law and a conman. The show’s success is attributed to its engaging characters and storylines, which kept viewers coming back for six seasons. It is expected to attract a large audience on Netflix, much like Suits did.
After joining Netflix in July, Suits set several viewing records, becoming the most streamed show of 2023. The show logged over 57.7 billion minutes of viewing across Netflix and Peacock, setting records for the biggest single week for an acquired series. The success of Suits has led to various reunions of the cast for Super Bowl commercials and the development of a spinoff, Suits: LA. The White Collar cast is also interested in reuniting for a possible spinoff.
Actor Matt Bomer has confirmed that there have been discussions about a White Collar reunion. Creator Jeff Eastin has developed a plan that honors the late Willie Garson, who passed away in 2021, for the potential project. Bomer expressed his loyalty and love for the show, calling it a dream come true experience. All six seasons of White Collar are now available on Netflix for fans to enjoy and reminisce about the beloved series.
The possibility of a White Collar reunion has generated excitement among fans of the show. The chemistry between the characters and the blend of crime of the week cases with character-driven storylines contributed to the show’s success. With the resurgence of interest in the show on Netflix, there is hope for a reunion project that pays tribute to the legacy of the series and its beloved cast members. The future looks promising for White Collar and its fans as they eagerly anticipate a potential reunion.
