Knight Rider is a Go!


Despite a luke-warm response from hardcore fans, the relaunch TV movie of Knight Rider did well enough in the ratings that Universal has decided to go to series, shooting for a fall premiere.

The Hollywood Reporter broke the news today that Gary Scott Thompson has been tapped to be the exec producer and showrunner. Dave Bartis and Doug Liman who exec’ed the two-hour telemovie will also be onboard, and the pilot scribe Dave Andron will be a consulting producer. Sadly “consulting producer” is not TV industry code for “ran out of town for sucking.”
