The popular 1980s series, Knight Rider, is being brought to the big screen this time. The film project for the iconic series, which follows the adventures of KITT, the artificially intelligent car, and Michael Knight, has been entrusted to the team that brought Cobra Kai to life.

Knight Rider is back

Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald previously turned the “Karate Kid” series into a successful Netflix series. Following this success, they are now reportedly bringing a new dimension to the Knight Rider series.

A Knight Rider film was also announced in 2020, with James Wan even rumored to be directing. However, this project never materialized. The new film, developed by the Cobra Kai team, has no connection to the previous project and is being written from a completely new script.

In the 1980s, when the series aired, the idea of ​​an autonomous, artificially intelligent car was considered science fiction. Now, a vehicle like KITT is on the road. This has increased the curiosity of how the screenwriting team will interpret the story.

This new film stands out for its blend of ’80s nostalgia with modern technology. Cobra Kai’s ability to modernize the old series while preserving its original spirit is generating high anticipation among fans. How the team updates Black Lightning’s signature humor, action, and iconic dialogue will be key factors in determining the project’s success.
