Is Knight Rider making a comeback in a new TV series with Zac Efron behind the wheel, or is the classic ’80s franchise dead?
The original NBC series starred David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a crime fighter offered a second chance at life after being shot in the face. He’s recruited to drive KITT, a technologically advanced, super-fast, reinforced Pontiac Trans-Am, deployed when “direct action might provide the only feasible solution.”
It was never a critical darling, but it ran for four seasons and spawned a franchise with several sequels and spinoff shows like Team Knight Rider and 2008’s short-lasted revival.
