According to Entertainment Weekly, the creators of “Cobra Kai” are in talks to write the script, produce, and direct the film.

Knight Rider first premiered as a TV series on NBC, airing from 1982 to 1986.

Created and produced by Glen A. Larson, the series followed Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff), who fought crime in the U.S. alongside the artificial intelligence known as K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Two Thousand).

In the 90s, two TV movies were released: “Knight Rider 2000” and “Knight Rider 2010.” The series also had a spin-off that premiered in 1997 but was canceled after 22 episodes.

It has not yet been confirmed whether David Hasselhoff will return to the new project to reprise his role. In 2012, the actor told Entertainment Weekly that he would like to make a film, provided it was retro.

The creators of “Cobra Kai” were also responsible for reviving the “Karate Kid” franchise. The series, which ran for six seasons, was a critical and audience success.
