The action-drama, a continuation of David Hasselhoff's hit '80s series, has received the green light for nine more episodes, taking its inaugural season to 22 instalments.
Knight Rider has experienced a critical drubbing and less than solid ratings since debuting in September. The last episode pulled in 7.65 million viewers.
The pickup is NBC's first full-season order for a new series. The Mentalist (CBS), Fringe (Fox) and 90210 (The CW) have also been granted a full first season.
