White Collar and Covert Affairs renewed for a 5th and 4th season each; Royal Pains renewed for 2 more seasons.


The American TV dramas White Collar, Royal Pains and Covert Affairs have all been renewed for further seasons, while Common Law is definitely cancelled and a 3rd season for Universal Channel (DStv 108) Fairly Legal looks extremely unlikely.

Royal Pains (seen in South Africa on M-Net) has been renewed for a fifth and sixth season and a sizeable 26 episode order. White Collar with Matt Bomer (seen in South Africa on M-Net Series) was renewed for a 16 episode fifth season. Covert Affairs (seen in South Africa on M-Net Series) was renewed for a 16 episode fourth season.

"All three of these series have found ways to stay creatively fresh and culturally relevant. The execution in writing, acting and production is among the best on television," says the USA Network, the TV channel who has these shows in America, in a statement. "In an increasingly competitive landscape, these series got new-season pickup the old-fashioned way - they earned it."
