A couple weeks ago, NBC ordered more scripts for Knight Rider. Now, the Peacock has ordered the back nine episodes, making Rider the fourth freshman show to receive a full-season pickup this year behind Fringe, 90210 and The Mentalist.
The order also marks NBC's first back-nine pickup for any of the network's new shows. (Returning spy comedy/thriller Chuck was given a full order before the season began.)
The pickup wasn't unexpected after the network ordered the additional scripts, but it wasn't a forgone conclusion either. The update of the popular 1980s series saw strong numbers in its TV-movie/backdoor pilot outing in February, but the series itself has yet to pick up much speed.
Looks like NBC will at least let KITT cross the first-season finish line.
