"White Collar" Reboot is a Go, Says Creator Jeff Eastin

Great things comes to those who wait, it seems — especially for fans of "White Collar". Series creator Jeff Eastin confirmed Thursday in Los Angeles that an updated version of the police procedural is finally in development.

“We’re gonna reboot. I’m writing the script,” Eastin said, as quoted by Variety. He appeared at the trade’s TV festival with stars Matt Bomer, Tim DeKay and Tiffany Thiessen — all of whom are expected to return.

“I’m in!” exclaimed Bomer.

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

The reboot also is expected to honor the late Willie Garson, who played Mozzie in the original series.

“With such sensitivity and such heart,” said Thiessen about the built-in tribute. “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.”
