Despite reports that this will be the final season of “White Collar,” no decision has been reached on whether the show (starring Matt Bomer, pictured) will go on.

“Rush,” a working title, stars Tom Ellis (“Miranda and Gates”) and is from writer/director Levine (“Warm Bodies,” “The Wackness”) along with Fox 21 and Little Engine’s Gina Matthews and Grant Scharbo (“The Gates,” “Missing”).  The Hollywood drama is centered on Dr. William Rush (Ellis), a pricey, discreet, hard-partying doctor who starts to rethink his life because of an old flame.

“White Collar” is created and executive produced by Jeff Eastin and comes from Fox Television Studios.  Nick Thiel and Jeff King also serve as executive producers.
