NBC is putting the brakes on their new version of Knight Rider prematurely, bringing production to a screeching halt.
The show is being sent to the mechanic for a format overhaul, transforming it into more of a crime procedural.
The show will resume shooting in time to get out a few new episodes before its February 25th finale, but the fewer episodes means that NBC probably won’t pick it up for next season.
Despite its retro appeal, the re-imagined KITT and Knight combination just could not cut it ratings wise.
KITT will just have to drive off into the sunset!
