Instead of a movie, Knight Rider is coming back in the form of a digital series on Machinima from Fast & Furious and Star Trek Beyond director Justin Lin.
The Knight Rider revival is the latest instance of Machinima creating a live-action digital show based on a popular, pre-existing brand.
Some of these initiatives (like Terminator: Genisys) haven’t gone over well, but the practice has by and large been successful.
Their series have collectively accumulated more than 300 million views, so it’s safe to say that the new Knight Rider should reach a wide audience.
