Premise

edit

Neal Caffrey, a renowned con artist, forger, and thief, is captured after a three-year game of cat and mouse with the FBI, specifically Special Agent Peter Burke, the head agent of the FBI’s White Collar Crimes Unit at the FBI's New York City field office. He is convicted and sentenced to four years in prison. With only four months left, he escapes to look for his girlfriend, Kate.

Burke once again finds Caffrey and returns him to prison. This time, Caffrey proposes a deal to help Burke apprehend dangerous white collar criminals with the FBI. He will also give them full time consultation in exchange for his early release from prison as part of a work-release program. After some hesitation, Burke agrees, resulting in Neal being released early from prison and working as an FBI consultant and Burke's criminal informant. They begin an unconventional and testy relationship as they set out to capture elusive and dangerous white collar criminals in New York City.

A reboot was confirmed to be in the works on June 6, 2024. It was being written by Eastin, with the involvements of Bomer, DeKay, and Thiessen. It was said to be a ''a fantastic script and it answers all the questions that one would have if you watch the show'', and that it would honor the late cast member Willie Garson (who died in 2021 of pancreatic cancer).[1][49] Jeff Eastin creator of White Collar that the reboot is titled White Collar Renaissance and is currently working on the reboot [50]
