USA Network Greenlights White Collar

USA Network has given the greenlight for the hourlong series White Collar. The show will launch with a 90-minute pilot to be followed with 13 episodes. White Collar stars Matthew Bomer, Tim DeKay, Tiffani Thiessen and Willie Garson. Bomer plays a criminal mastermind who breaks out of jail and ends up working with the FBI to help catch other elusive crooks. The series may begin in the fall but nothing is officially set.

White Collar is the second pilot pickup by USA this year. Royal Pains, about a Manhattan doctor (Mark Feuerstein) who ends up reluctantly seeing patients in the Hamptons, was greenlit in January and will launch at 10 pm June 4 following the season-three premiere of Burn Notice.
