David Hasselhoff in "Knight Rider"

There have been a lot of talks about the reboot of NBC’s cult series Knight Rider in recent years, but unfortunately, these plans didn’t come to fruition. Things might change for the better soon, however, since David Hasselhoff, who starred as lead character Michael Knight in the original, teased that project isn’t dead after all.

In one of his recent interviews, Hasselhoff discussed the failed attempt to revive Knight Rider from nearly a decade ago, saying that things have fallen apart since the producers wanted to do the project without him

“We talked about another series about eight to nine years ago,” Hasselhoff said. “But they wanted to do it without me. I wanted to tell them what the morals behind Knight Rider were, the morals behind Baywatch and why they worked!”

The 66-year-old actor was then asked about the possibility of reboot happening in the near future, and ended up offering a promising response.

“I’m not supposed to say anything, but stay tuned,” he said. “The Knight Rider will ride again!”

Knight Rider premiered in 1982 and revolved around a former police detective Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) who becomes a crime fighter with the assistance of KITT, an advanced artificially intelligent car. The show inspired several television movies and spinoffs while becoming a part of pop culture.
