‘White Collar’ Reboot Confirmed by Creator and Cast: New Episodes to Honor Willie Garson
During a recent panel at Variety’s TV Fest, series creator Jeff Eastin announced that a reboot of the popular show “White Collar” is currently in the works. The news was met with excitement from stars Matt Bomer, Tim DeKay, and Tiffany Thiessen, who all confirmed their involvement in the project.
The new scripts for the reboot are said to “honor” Willie Garson, who portrayed Mozzie on the original series and passed away in 2021. According to DeKay, the script not only addresses lingering questions from the show but also serves as a great introduction for new viewers.
The reboot is expected to capture the same thrill, suspense, and love that fans of the original series enjoyed. While details about the plot remain under wraps, it is speculated that the new episodes will likely find a home on a streaming platform like Hulu.
Eastin purposely left the series finale open-ended back in 2014, making a reboot a possibility as streaming platforms have seen a surge in procedural shows. With the success of shows like “Suits” on Netflix leading to renewed interest in “White Collar,” fans can look forward to new episodes that continue the story from where it left off.
It’s clear that the cast and crew are dedicated to honoring the legacy of the show and paying tribute to Garson in a profound way through the upcoming reboot. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the world of television.
