Cable network USA has officially renewed the popular White Collar for a sixth season. New dramas Rush and Complications have also been greenlit.
“We are excited to usher in the next generation of USA dramas, alongside our signature returning originals that continue to attract a large and loyal fan base," Chris McCumber, president of USA Network, said in a statement. "This year USA will be showcasing more hours of original programming than ever before, including an unprecedented 6 new series and 6 returning shows."
Up first is Rush from Fox 21. It was written by Jonathan Levine (Warm Bodies) and will star Tom Ellis (Miranda and Gates). It takes place in Hollywood, where Dr. William Rush (Ellis) is a fast-living, highly-paid doctor for the stars who knows how to keep a secret. Unfortunately, he has an old love who pops in at an inopportune time.
Complications is a new project from Burn Notice’s Matt Nix and will be produced by Fox TV Studios. Jason O’Mara (Vegas) plats John Ellis, a suburban emergency room doctor whose life changes after he saves a boy in a drive-by shooting. Suddenly, Ellis is a part of the boy’s life.
Finally, USA confirmed reports that White Collar’s sixth season will run just six episodes. However, USA did not call it the “final season,” so there may be some hope for Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) after all.
