Knight Rider Is Getting a Cobra Kai-Style Movie — Hardcastle and McCormick, the ’80s Car Show With a McLaren-Based Hero Car, Deserves One Next

Universal has a Knight Rider movie reboot in development, and the creative team behind it is the same trio who turned Cobra Kai into one of the most acclaimed revivals in recent TV history: Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald. The three are reportedly in talks to write (and possibly direct) the film, with Kelly McCormick and David Leitch producing through their 87North banner alongside Spyglass. Unconfirmed rumors suggest the reboot could even fold in other ’80s action properties like Airwolf and The Six Million Dollar Man. If the Cobra Kai team can prove that an ’80s action property can be lovingly, successfully modernized decades later, it raises an obvious question: why stop at Knight Rider? Hardcastle and McCormick — another Stephen J. Cannell-era buddy classic built around a hero, a mentor figure, and an unforgettable car — is sitting right there, waiting for the same treatment.
