White Collar has been renewed for a second season, according to reports.

The Hollywood Reporter says that the programme’s creator and executive producer Jeff Eastin announced the news on his Twitter page.

White Collar is a USA Network crime comedy-drama television series created by Jeff Eastin, starring Matt Bomer as con-man Neal Caffrey and Tim DeKay as Special Agent Peter Burke. It premiered on October 23, 2009. White Collar concluded its Friday episodes on December 4 and is on a brief hiatus before returning on Tuesday evenings, beginning January 19, 2010.

Neal Caffrey (Matthew Bomer) is a con-man who was captured after a three-year game of cat-and-mouse. With three months left while serving a four-year sentence, he escapes from a maximum security federal prison to find Kate, his ex-girlfriend. Peter Burke, the FBI agent who captured Caffrey, catches him again. This time, Caffrey gives Burke information about evidence in another case; however, this information comes with a price: Burke must have a meeting with Caffrey. At this meeting, Caffrey proposes a deal: he will help Burke catch other criminals as part of a work-release program. Burke agrees, after some hesitation. Within a day of being released from prison, Caffrey already lives in one of the most expensive houses in Manhattan, after persuading an elderly widow to rent him her guest room. After catching the elusive Dutchman, Caffrey has proven to Burke that he will help him, and that he will not try to escape again. However, at the same time, Caffrey is still looking for Kate, whom he believes is in trouble.

In its third season, Gossip Girl continues to explore the making of a mogul as Chuck Bass, heir to his late father Bart’s fortune, attempts to live up to the family name. The elder Bass, who died in a car wreck last season, was a hard-dealing, self-made entrepreneur who earned his billions as the head of Bass Industries. But on the living, breathing Upper East Side, the Bass surname has an actual association: power couple Sid and Mercedes Bass. How much of the show’s Bass story line finds its inspiration in the real-life Bass family?

Some new series take their sweet time doling out plot points. “Glee” is not one of those shows. Just consider the rapid-fire developments that went down Wednesday night: Temperamental Rachel quit her beloved glee club when she lost out on a prized solo, reconsidered, then quit again; evil-icious cheer coach Sue Sylvester blackmailed the principal as part of her new plot to bring down glee club; and pregnancy-faker Terri admitted (to exactly one person) that she wasn’t pregnant while chastity club president Quinn revealed she was — with her boyfriend’s best friend’s baby! What kind of whiplash-inducing drama could the producers possibly have in store now that they have an entire season to play with?
Who can wait to find out? Not me, especially when the twists and turns are handled as beautifully as Kurt’s brave, Beyonce-drenched coming-out. The episode began with the outcast glee clubber doing his best Sasha Fierce in a faithful homemade version of the singer’s Kanye-endorsed “Single Ladies” clip, complete with two backup dancers, black-and-white video, and the familiar booty-slapping, wrist-flicking choreography. That is, until Dad (“Yes, Dear’s” Mike O’Malley) came home early to catch “Deadliest Catch” on TV and halted the music.
Startled, Kurt immediately shifted into “I’m straight — no, really” overdrive, playing off the unitard he was wearing with “all the guys in football wear them. They’re jock-chic.” Fellow glee clubber Tina dutifully played the role of girlfriend, while Backup Dancer No. 2 piped up with the lie that Kurt was now the kicker on the school’s team. Now football — unlike sporting sequins to lip-synch some Mrs. Jay-Z — was a pursuit Dad could relate to since he’d played in junior college before screwing up his knee doing wheelies on his dirt bike. Naturally, he wanted a ticket to his son’s first game.
Conveniently, McKinley High’s victory-challenged team — the worst in the history of Ohio — had an opening since the previous kicker, 0 for 12 in field-goal attempts, had been demoted to “hydration services” (a.k.a. water-bottle filler-upper). Even so, Kurt would need his quarterback-crush Finn’s help. “Thanks, but I already have a date to the prom,” Finn quickly replied when Kurt said he had something to ask him. He proved more helpful with the actual tryout, encouraging a hair-conscious Kurt to wear his helmet (“Red’s your color”), running interference with snarky teammate Puck (“You joined Acafellas — what’s the difference?”) and holding the pigskin in position until Kurt, buoyed by the Beyonce blaring from his boom box, miraculously sent the football soaring across the field and through the hallowed uprights.
