NBC's two-hour sequel to the 1980s TV show could also serve as pilot for a new "Knight Rider" series if the network decides to order one.

At the center of the new incarnation is Mike Tracer (played by Justin Bruening), son of crime-fighter Michael Knight (played by David Hasselhoff in the original show.)

The TV movie will also feature a second-generation version of the iconic KITT, an artificially intelligent car.
