White Collar heads to UK
White Collar, the US drama about an ex-con who escapes prison and becomes an FBI consultant, has been sold into the UK by Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution.
The show, written and exec produced by Jeff Eastin via Fox TV Studios, has been picked up by Virgin Media TV and will air on the male-skewing Bravo channel, which claimed it had "beaten off stiff competition" to land exclusive UK rights to the series.
It stars Tim DeKay (Get Smart, Tell Me You Love Me), Matthew Bomer (Chuck, Tru Calling), Tiffani Thiessen (Fastlane, Beverly Hills 90210, Saved by the Bell), Marsha Thomason (Lost, Easy Money, Las Vegas) and Willie Garson (John From Cincinnati, Fever Pitch).
VMTV’s head of acquisitions Amy Barham said: “White Collar is a perfect fit for Bravo - sharp, witty, and delivers a slick twist on the classic ‘buddy’ genre.” Stateside, the series debuted on cable channel USA Network in October and has been renewed already..
