Knight Rider 2000 on Sky Movies Action/Thriller!

The first ever KR revival, the TV movie Knight Rider 2000, is being screened on Sky Movies Action/Thriller tomorrow (Sunday, 6th September) at 11:50am, with an encore showing at 7:10pm.

The movie picks up the Knight Rider story in the year 2000, and the city has banned all handguns. The police now carry ultrasound weapons that freeze rather than kill the perpetrators. However, cops are still being shot by illegal handguns which are being supplied by a mysterious source. Persuaded out of a ten year retirement by his old boss Devon (Edward Mulhare), Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) resurrects his old friend K.I.T.T. (voiced by William Daniels) and sets about uncovering the most horrifying scandal the city has ever seen.

Sky Movies Action/Thriller is available to Sky customers on channel 304, and Virgin customers on channel 404. Sky simulcast in HD on channel 335.

Don't miss it!

On This Day: 19th May, 1991

Today marks the 18th anniversary of the first ever Knight Rider revival!

Knight Rider 2000 aired as a Movie of the Week and got fantastic ratings, but unlike the most recent telepic it failed to launch a new series. Set in an alternate future, 2000 sees Devon Miles (Edward Mulhare reprising the role for the last time) call Michael Knight out of retirement to investigate the assassination of the city's mayor. Michael is teamed with Shawn McCormick (Susan Norman), an ex-cop who has joined the Knight Foundation after having one of K.I.T.T.'s memory chips implanted in her brain.

There is a detailed guide to the movie, K.I.T.T. - the Knight 4000, articles, galleries and a site-exclusive making-of feature in the Knight Rider 2000 section of the site!
