White Collar Leaves Netflix Soon — Here's How Long You Have Left

If you just fell back into Neal Caffrey's world on Netflix, quick heads-up: the timer's running. 'White Collar' isn't sticking around there forever.

The short version

• Leaving Netflix: currently slated for October 1, 2025
• Why: Disney licensed a batch of shows to Netflix for 18 months; 'White Collar' hit Netflix in April 2024, so the clock runs out in October 2025
• Where to watch now: Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ (the license is non-exclusive)
• Where it will live after: Hulu and Disney+ are expected to be the long-term homes once it exits Netflix
• The bigger trend: starting in June 2025, the Disney and HBO titles that got short-term Netflix stints began rotating off; think 'This Is Us,' 'Reba,' 'How I Met Your Mother' — fun visit, not a permanent move

So what actually happened?

This is one of those inside-baseball licensing things. Disney owns 'White Collar' and cut a deal with Netflix in late 2023 to bring over a stack of Fox/ABC/FX library titles for a limited run. Each one got about an 18-month window. 'White Collar' arrived on Netflix in April 2024, which puts its exit at October 2025. It's not about ratings; it's about the contract doing exactly what it was meant to do.

Because Disney licensed it non-exclusively, 'White Collar' didn't leave Hulu or Disney+ when it came to Netflix, and it won't vanish from those when it leaves. If you're planning a rewatch after October 1, 2025, Hulu and Disney+ should be the steady options.

A quick refresher on the show

'White Collar' ran on USA Network from 2009 to 2014 and has aged unusually well for a slick crime procedural. Matt Bomer plays Neal Caffrey, a con man who cuts a deal to help the FBI, with Tim DeKay as straight-arrow Agent Peter Burke trying to keep him in line. The late Willie Garson steals scenes as Mozzie, and Tiffani Thiessen brings warmth as Elizabeth Burke. It's stylish, clever, and still very bingeable — which is exactly why its Netflix window has people watching the calendar.
