USA will end its legal drama series White Collar after six seasons, the network said Friday.

The series, which stars Tim DeKay as FBI Special Agent Peter Burke and Matt Bomer as con artist Neal Caffrey, will end its run with the sixth season, which debuts on Nov 6. Covert Affairs will also debut its new season on Nov. 6.

“From its inception, White Collar captured a massive and loyal following, in large part due to the incredible on-screen chemistry between Matt and Tim, who deserve credit for one of the most brilliantly performed ‘bromances’ in all of television,” said Chris McCumber, President of USA Network in a statement. “The series also benefited from smart writing and an extraordinarily talented supporting cast, who helped it become a fan favorite crime drama for five straight years. This season will not disappoint, with an exciting and shocking ending that fans will never forget.”
