Knight Rider
An icon reborn.
Created by Glen A. Larson
On NBC
A high-tech action procedural built around an AI supercar, balancing nostalgic revival with contemporary gadgetry and conspiracy-driven crime-fighting.
On the heels of NBC's hit movie, the iconic 1980s television classic comes roaring back to life as a reinvented, updated and super-charged action series showcasing the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand). Absolutely the coolest car ever created, KITT is equipped with an "AI" (artificial intelligence) that is capable of hacking almost any system. Its weapons systems match that of a jet fighter, and its body is capable of actually transforming into other vehicles and using sophisticated holographic imagery to elude villains.
