NEW KNIGHT RIDER 3000 TO FIRE FIVE CAST MEMBERS.
The show will return to the original mission- under the first Micheal Knight of going on the road "and helping more regular people, everyman."
The show will drop its CIA based "terrorist-of-the-week formula" and unpopular characters played by Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Yancey Arias and Bruce Davison, after the 13th show. Still, it was hinted that Poitier and Davison may return,in a very limited capacity, too.
Knight executive producer/show runner Gary Scott
Thompson threw up his hands and declared, "It's a reboot,"
No new new regulars are planned for the show, which
will still star the five main characters: KITT, Mike (Justin Bruening),
Sarah (Deanna Russo), Billy (Paul Campbell), and Zoe (Smith Cho.)
Cho's part looks to be expanding,due to her young Lucy Lui type vibe. The show will do celebrity "stunt" casting,when viewers will notice the changes on shows 10-11 after Sunday Night Football. Knight has had its ass handed to it since starting and has barely 5 million viewers.
