Now that Psych, Monk, and Suits have enjoyed a revival, it appears that White Collar is next. Matt Bomer, the star of the series about the unlikely team of an FBI agent and con artist has an update on a revival.
What did he reveal?
Matt Bomer Reveals White Collar Revival Is Possible
Could White Collar fans finally get what they wish for? Could the series return? On Friday, TV Line spoke to Matt Bomer. What he had to share should give fans of the series a lot of hope about the series that changed his whole career.
Firstly, the star who portrayed the elegant con man Neal Caffrey in the series revealed that they are still in the early stages. “There has been talk. It’s actually very legitimate talk, it’s in conversation.” Next, he admitted that “a lot of things need to fall into place, but there is a plan in effect, at least, so we’ll see what happens.”
In other words, they are figuring out the details. The show’s creator Jeff Eastin has shared his vision with Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay. Now, they are getting a lot of issues ironed out. Furthermore, there is one really important detail that will need to be addressed.
How Will White Collar Revival Deal With The Loss Of Willie Garson?
Just over two years ago, White Collar and SATC alum Willie Garson died of cancer. Garson portrayed Neal’s best pal Mozzie. Mozzie, the brilliant conspiracy theorist con man with a golden heart made for a lot of the comic moments in this incredible series. Will a revival series address Willie Garson’s absence?
According to Matt Bomer, he would not be interested in this project unless Willie was addressed. He said, “Obviously, that’s the first thing that came to my mind, but I felt that what Jeff Eastin presented to Tim and I honors him as a person.”
Bomer was clear that he would not be part of this project if Willie Garson was not part of the conversation. “There’s no way I would ever be involved with it again if it didn’t do so. So I think it’s a way for him to, in some ways, still be part of the show.”
Diahann Carroll And Treat Williams Were Also Part Of The Series
In addition to Willie Garson’s Mozzie, two other characters have passed on. This includes the late Diahann Carroll. The actress portrayed the elegant widow June Ellington. In addition, Treat Williams portrayed his ex-cop and Neal’s conman father, James Bennett/Sam Phelps.
White Collar ran for six seasons between 2009-2014. Matt Bomer portrayed art and securities specialist and con man Neal Caffrey. Tim DeKay portrayed FBI Special Agent Peter Burke, with Tiffani Thiessen as his wife Elizabeth. Masha Thomason and Sharif Atkins portrayed FBI Special Agents Diana Berrigan and Clinton Jones.
In addition, Hilarie Burton portrayed Sara Ellis as Neal’s love interest. Although there were other love interests in the six years of the series, Burton’s character was around the longest.
