USA’s long-running procedural hitWhite Collaris returning in a brand-new revival by the show’s original creator, and several returning cast members are also attached toWhite Collar Renaissance. Debuting in 2009, the series concerns a con-man named Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) whose career as a criminal comes to an end when he strikes a deal with the FBI to help them bring down high-profile white-collar criminals. Shifting the focus of the procedural to involve the world of corporate crime,White Collarwas as funny as it was poignant during its six-season original run.

Much to the chagrin of audiences, the show was eventually canceled in 2014 and faded into the background amid a rising tide of other alternative procedurals which dotted the TV landscape at the time. However, perhaps emboldened bythe streaming success of shows likeSuits, the fate ofWhite Collarwas not sealed by its premature cancelation over a decade ago. Now, a revival of the show is in the works that aims to continue the legacy of the original series while delivering the classicWhite Collarcharm in the modern day.

Coming a decade after the show was canceled by USA,a revival ofWhite Collarhas been confirmedfrom the series' original creator.

Joining him on the panel were series starsMatt Bomer, Tim DeKay and Tiffani Thiessen who have all confirmed that they will be returningto their roles.

Unfortunately,Hulu won’t be hosting the series as originally planned, and it will now be shopped to other streamers.

Speaking of the upcoming series, Tim Dekay said:

It’s a fantastic script, and it answers all the questions that one would have if you watch the show, and it would introduce the show to those who haven’t seen it as well. Both edges of the sword are honed. It honors Willie, too, in a profound way. With such sensitivity and such heart. 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.
