The turbo boost is back—this time with a Cobra Kai kick. The creators of Netflix’s hit series Cobra Kai are revving up a reboot of the 1980s TV classic Knight Rider for Universal Pictures.

Key Points

• Creative Team: Hurwitz, Schlossberg, and Heald are writing and may direct under their Counterbalance banner.

• Producers: David Leitch (The Fall Guy) and Kelly McCormick join via 87North; Spyglass also onboard.

• Reboot History: Universal has tried this before—James Wan was once attached—but this is the furthest it’s gotten.

No plot details have surfaced, but expect action, humor, and maybe even a turbocharged cameo from David Hasselhoff. This team knows how to walk the nostalgia line without stalling out.
