Back in 2017, John Cena was attached to play Michael Knight alongside Kevin Hart in a buddy cop comedy version of Knight Rider, but it never shifted into drive.

Knight Rider has a loyal fanbase so organized that a convention called KnightCon exists.
No response yet on Hasselhoff’s end just yet but, if the writer has loved the television show since childhood it must be in good hands, right?
