The End of the Road
In 2008 NBC gave Knight Rider the green light to shoot nine more episodes. The first four episodes were successful in ratings, however, the ratings took a nosedive in November, showing very low interest. The creative team decided to bring the storyline closer to what it was when the show started, focusing on the main character and the car.
But this decision led to three cast members being laid off. The final episode aired on February 25, 2009. The ’80s version remains the most popular and still resonates with fans. Knight Rider has also inspired similar TV series and films, including The Highway Man, and Street Hawk.
