Series star Matt Bomer is contracted for seven seasons of the USA drama, but Eastin told Entertainment Weekly that he envisions the show running even longer.

"I don't think there's a limit," said the showrunner. "Tim DeKay [Peter Burke] has jokingly said he'll go ten seasons without even thinking... and I'd like nothing else more."
Eastin also insisted that Bomer's rising career in movies - following the release of last year's Magic Mike - will not affect the actor's commitment to White Collar.
"We've talked and one of the great things about doing a cable schedule is that it still leaves a really huge hiatus for him to go do features," Eastin explained. "So I think we'll end up doing more than seven seasons on White Collar."

The fourth season of White Collar is currently airing on USA on Tuesday nights, with a 16-part fifth season already confirmed. The series airs on Alibi in the UK.
