'White Collar' Final Season Premiere Date Moved Up

The sixth and final season of White Collar will premiere earlier than expected, as USA Network president Chris McCumber is promising a "shocking" conclusion to the drama.

The premiere of the six-episode final season of White Collar has been moved up to Thursday, November 6th.

“From its inception, White Collar captured a massive and loyal following, in large part due to the incredible on-screen chemistry between [Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay], who deserve credit for one of the most brilliantly performed ‘bromances’ in all of television,” McCumber said. “The series also benefited from smart writing and an extraordinarily talented supporting cast, who helped it become a fan favorite crime drama for five straight years. This season will not disappoint, with an exciting and shocking ending that fans will never forget.”

“Saying goodbye to White Collar—and Neal and Peter—after six successful seasons is incredibly difficult, but I couldn’t be prouder of what our entire team has accomplished over the last six years,” added series creator Jeff Eastin, who is turning his attentions to Graceland. “I’m grateful to FTVS and USA for giving the show a great home, and I can’t wait for fans to see the twists, surprises and phenomenal performances our final season has in store for them.”

Here is a teaser description for the final six episodes of White Collar:

“The thrilling final season picks up on last season’s cliffhanger, when Caffrey has disappeared, sans ankle bracelet. Personal transitions and returning enemies complicate things when Caffrey and Agent Burke are pitted against the most sought-after network of criminals in the world, the Pink Panthers. With the help of Mozzie (Garson) and FBI agents, Barrigan and Jones, they will attempt to infiltrate and bring down the infamous criminal ring. Guest stars for the final bow include Ross McCall, Gavin Lee, Bridget Regan, Toby Leonard Moore, Paloma Guzman, Michael Potts, Isaach de Bankole and Diahann Carroll.”

On the one hand, it'll be a bit sad to be saying goodbye to White Collar before the year is out; on the other hand, it's looking to be an explosive conclusion for the series.
