Covert Affairs, White Collar Coming In July

White Collar will return for its second season on USA Network on Tuesday, July 13, paired with new show Covert Affairs.

When last we saw Neal (Matt Bomer) and Peter (Tim Dekay) in the White Collar season finale, a plane with Kate inside exploded, leaving Neal (and us) dumbstruck. Is Kate really dead? Who blew up the plane? Do Neal and Peter have the best bromance on television? So many questions! We’ll surely get some answers in season two, plus Diahann Carroll returns as a recurring cast member and Marsha Thomason  (last seen in the second episode of season 1) will re-join the cast as a series regular. Also returning are Willie Garson, Sharif Atkins, and Tiffani Thiessen. Tim Matheson both directs and guest stars in the season premiere.

Covert Affairs is a new show coming to USA, and one we’re excited about. Just look at this cast! Piper Perabo stars as Annie Walker, a young CIA trainee who is suddenly thrust into the inner sanctum of the agency after being promoted to field operative. While it appears that she has been hand-picked for her exceptional linguistic skills, it may be something from her past that her CIA bosses are really after. Christopher Gorham plays Auggie Anderson, a CIA military intelligence agent, blinded while on assignment, and Annie’s guide in this world of bureaucracy, excitement and intrigue. Peter Gallagher is Arthur Campbell, the formidable director of Clandestine Services for the CIA. Sendhil Ramamurthy plays Jai Wilcox, an agent with a rich family history within the walls of the CIA. Anne Dudek plays Danielle, a married mother of two and Annie’s older sister who knows nothing of Annie’s life as a spy. Kari Matchett plays Joan, head of the CIA’s Domestic Protection Division…and Arthur’s wife.

It’s going to be a hot summer on USA!
