USA is close to giving a series order to “White Collar,” with the pickup expected to be sealed after final details are worked out.

“Collar,” from Fox TV Studios and creator Jeff Eastin, revolves around the unlikely pairing of a brilliant con artist (Matthew Bomer) and the head of the FBI’s white-collar crime unit (Tim DeKay).

Tiffani Thiessen, Marsha Thomason and Willie Garson co-starred in the pilot, which was directed by Bronwen Hughes.

With the odd couple at its center, “Collar” could be a potential companion for the James Roday-Dule Hill starrer “Psych,” whose longtime lead-in, “Monk,” is headed into its final season.
