‘White Collar’ Reboot To Be Shopped To Buyers
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: The long-in-the-works White Collar reboot is about to hit the marketplace. According to sources, series creator Jeff Eastin, who has been behind the effort to revive the cult USA Network series, will be taking the pitch out in the next week or two.
The project is produced by 20th Television, part of Disney TV Studios. Initially, sibling Hulu was considered the logical home for the followup as it also carries the White Collar library.
I hear the Disney streamer opted not to proceed with the reboot, which is now being taken to the open market. Of the other major players, Netflix would be a natural fit as the platform also has (for the moment) the original series in the U.S., as well as the U.K.
and Canada. The main cast, including star Matt Bomer, Tim DeKay and Tiffani Thiessen are expected to reprise their roles should the series come to fruition even if some are not formally attached yet.
