Last night’s premiere of brand new Knight Rider has delivered its SCI FI channel’s best series ratings since the first run of Heroes in 2007. Over half a million viewers tuned in for the high-octane, feature-length pilot, which guest-starred David Hasselhoff.

SCI FI also enjoyed a steep uplift amongst young adults, with 33% of viewers aged 16 – 34, up nearly 60% on the channel’s average. Surprisingly, women aged 16 – 24 outnumbered their male counterparts in the same age group by 6 share points, proving that cars aren’t just for the boys.

There’s now a brand new clip available, featuring an interview with star Jason Breuning about the new series, and just what makes the new KITT so awesome. Watch the clip over the jump

David Hasslehoff talks about the all new series of Knight Rider which kicks off on the Sci-Fi channel next week.

He seems to think that the show would be better off with him in it, however we think he’s a little bit old for the action packed role!

Knight Rider returns to the Sci Fi Channel on Tuesday 12th May @ 8pm as a 2-hour feature-length special, and follows weekly every Tuesday.

Knight Rider returns to our screens once more next Tuesday, but not as you know it!

The all new, revamped show has a brand new cast, brand new crew and brand new KITT.

Remember K.I.T.T.? – a.k.a. the Knight Industries Three Thousand, and simply the coolest crime-fighting car ever created? Well, it’s back in this high-octane, zappy sequel to the iconic ‘80s original. And, OK, this time things are a little different. It might not have The Hoff at the wheel (although he does make a cameo in the pilot episode) and it’s a 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang rather than a TransAm Pontiac, but now K.I.T.T.’s an even bigger beast in the fight against crime – and it’s got a new ‘voice’: superstar VAL KILMER!

The Sci Fi Channel has acquired the rights to two of the biggest shows to emerge from America in the last year, Dollhouse and Knight Rider. Both programmes will be part of the channel’s UK digital spring programming line-up.

I know that personally I have been gagging to have a look at Joss Whedon’s latest offering which centres round a young woman who as a member of an illegal organization has her memories and personality wiped clean and imprinted with new ones in order to fulfill assignments catering to the wealthy and powerful. It’s great news that the show is finally coming to UK TV and though I could live without the Knight Rider remake I know many men (my hubby for one) are eagerly awaiting its return.

Big changes are planned for US TV series, Knight Rider in a bid to make it more like the 1980’s original.

“It’s a reboot,” “Knight” executive producer/showrunner Gary Scott Thompson said. “We’re moving away from the terrorist-of-the-week formula and closer to the original, making it a show about a man and his car going out and helping more regular people, everymen.”

US TV network, NBC, has picked up “Knight Rider” for a full season.

After decent ratings for its first string of episodes the network has ordered another nine episodes of the show, which is produced by it’s sister division Universal Media Studios.

Knight Rider’s most recent episode was seen by 6.9 million viewers.

The all new Knight Rider TV show is due to launch in America this weekend, and although there is no official word on when it will hit UK TV screens, I still thought that many of you die hard fans would appreciate a gander at these clips and trailers.

So watch the clips, get your first taste of Val Kilmer voicing the legendary K.I.T.T. car and let us know what you think in the comments form below!

Couldn’t be easier.

Here you go! Don’t say we don’t give you anything! We posted you a short trailer yesterday for the all new Knight Rider TV show, and today a longer, and more revealing clip is just below.

Knight Rider returns on US TV this month, we haven’t heard yet when we can look forward to seeing the show in the UK, but we hope its soon!

We all know by now that American TV network, NBC is bringing back Knight Rider. The show that made David Hasselhoff a household name. For that reason alone we should hate the show.

But in fact the hype surrounding this remake is huge, and even I am thrilled to hear KITT’s robotic voice again!

We’re not yet sure when this show will cross the Atlantic to our TV screens, but I doubt it will take long. To get you in the mood, have a glimpse at the trailer below….you gotta love the all new KITT!

The all new Michael Knight, played by Justin Bruening has been injured on set while filming the two hour show pilot.

Justin was filming a fight scene with one of his adversaries, and hurt his knee. He was taken to hospital but will hopefully be able to return to work within the next few days.

We all know that the powers that be are remaking Knight Rider. For a while we’ve known who’s starring in it (and who’s not!), but what we really wanted to know is what does new KITT look like?

Thankfully, Kristin Sample over at the tvsquad.com has managed to get some great pictures of the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand), all three versions of it.

If you are, or were a fan of the show, you should pop over and have a look…..you won’t regret it!

I was hoping this wouldn’t happen, but the word is that Baywatch star, David Hasselhoff is in talks to take his old role of Michael Knight in the new 2 hour pilot of Knight Rider.

Sydeny Poitier and Justin Bruening have also been signed for the new show.

Grindhouse actress Sydney Poitier has signed up for the new 2 hour pilot of 80’s classic TV show, Knight Rider.

Poitier will be appearing as an FBI agent who is out to get Mike, the son of Michael Knight. The role of Mike will be played by All My Children star, Justin Bruening.

Justin Bruening, star of US soap opera All My Children, has been lined up to star in the two hour remake of Knight Rider.

The handsome TV star will be joining the show as the son of Michael Knight, and he will get to drive the legendary KITT…..every man’s dream!

Steve Shill is going to direct the Knight Rider pilot, which will begine filming before the end of the year.
