Found this at a "Knight Rider" messege board:

Some news websites in Germany yesterday posted articles about possible comeback of Knight Rider. According to DH statements 75% of planning is done, Netflix is interested in 13 episodes, Marilyn Manson may be a villain. Few weeks ago Hasselhoff was at Netflix for mysterious reasons (according to his Twitter post, which was deleted).

Here's some links from Germany:

Yeah, the Marilyn Manson thing sounds awful. And since when does KR need a season villain? How about one that just shows up for a one or multiple part season finale? It worked for Garth. Marilyn Manson will never be a Garth.

The Bild.de German article translated into English reveals more information:

Old cart, new decade. In the resurrection of the cult series "Knight Rider" Auto K.I.T.T. not missing. David Hasselhoff knows how to dispel fan worries: the car is not being converted to modern, it remains as it

From 1982 to 1986 David Hasselhoff played in the cult series "Knight Rider" Michael Knight. With his talking car K.I.T.T. he fought against injustice and crime. He confirmed in August 2017 that the 65-year-old wants to bring back the show. With the help of James Gunn, the director of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2", he is working on a comeback. But what should that look like?

"I have a vision," Hasselhoff told the newspaper "Bild". They are working on a new concept for the series, which is more than just a reboot. Fans may be particularly interested in what will become of the old car almost 30 years after the show ended. In the matter gives Hasselhoff all-clear: The history of Michael and K.I.T.T. I want to go on, "he said," K.I.T.T. bring back as he was. Not as a mega modern electric car ".

Kitt. in modern times

For the reunion between Michael Knight and K.I.T.T. Has Hasselhoff a precise idea. It should take place in a garage. Their entertainment should refer to the past years as well as the associated technical innovations. For as progressive as then is K.I.T.T. Hasselhoff also knows this today: "The claim must be: how can we get K.I.T.T. into modern times with the same sense of humor and the same approaches?"

In any case, nothing should be rushed. The planning is at "75 percent," said Hasselhoff. 13 episodes will be filmed first. Among other things, the streaming service Netflix have expressed interest. "There's a big market there, dads who used to be boys are bringing their boys in now," the actor and singer is sure.

In addition to the help of James Gunn has already advertised another celebrity for the new "Knight Rider" series: the 49-year-old shock rocker Marilyn Manson wants to play a villain. The sequel according to Hasselhoff should definitely be darker. Both K.I.T.T. as well as Michael had become older.


So, assuming not everything was lost in translation, two things have arisen:

Netflix has expressed interest, so apparently what work is being done now it not official.

Manson has expressed interest in playing a villain, not that Manson has been picked as a villain. Thank goodness.

Okay, so as expected it was another false Hasselhoff alarm and no series is apparently happening.

Now we have a new potential false Hasselhoff alarm (every other year he does this) -- from a new interview from January 1:
https://www.metro.news/david-hasselhoff/1856751/

There are rumours of a Knight Rider reboot.

I’m working on bringing it back. I’d love to make it into a TV series but we’re talking about making it like Fast And Furious and doing a series of films. I want to do it now before I get too old so I’m not the Knight Walker!
