White Collar Reboot Update Reveals Next Steps After Disney (Which Produced The Show) Reportedly Doesn’t Want It

An update on the White Collar reboot has revealed the show's next steps after Disney, which produced the upcoming show, reportedly doesn't want it. The upcoming White Collar Renaissanceis expected to mark a return for the USA Network procedural, with Jeff Eastin returning as series creator for the new show. The series will include the return of Matt Bomer as Neal Caffrey, as well as Tim DeKay as Peter Burke and Tiffani Thiessen as Elizabeth Burke. Details about the show remain under wraps aside from its pilot episode being titled "Masquerade."

Now, Deadlinereports that White Collar Renaissance is preparing to be pitched to various networks after Disney, who produced the show, reportedly won't be airing it. The show was produced by 20th Century Studios and was expected to stream on Hulu, but the streaming service opted against having the show. Now, the series will be shopped around to other networks, including streamers like Netflix, in hopes of finding somewhere new to call home.

What White Collar Renaissance's New Hurdle Means For The Show

A Disney-Owned Streamer Won't Be Getting The Series

This latest update for the reboot series seems like a new hurdle for it to tackle, as the show now doesn't have a guaranteed home. However, the series was originally confirmed in June 2024, with Eastin offering a positive update in September with the pilot episode title. Given its active production alongside the return of at least three original White Collar cast members, it seems like the series has all the trappings for a positive continuation of the USA Network show, despite now needing to find a home.

With no word yet on what White Collar Renaissance's story is going to be, there's no way of knowing what a new network might mean for the plans currently in place. However, the show is likely to continue the original's procedural presentation, offering new cases for the characters to work on that are reflective of the original series.

While it's now unclear where this story will continue, Disney's decision not to run it on their networks will likely result in a situation somewhat similar to The Spiderwick Chronicles, where a different streamer picks up the show.

Our Take On White Collar Renaissance Being Shopped Around

The Show Will Likely Find A New Home

Given the hype surrounding another USA Network show's spinoff, Suits LA, it would make sense for other streaming services or TV networks to want another revival originating from the channel. This gives the White Collar reboot a fighting chance at going to a new home, especially if a network or streamer sees it as a potential way to compete with NBC's Suits revival. Although there's no word yet on what this means for the series, the dedication behind-the-scenes to bringing the show back means it has a good chance of finding a home.
