Knight Rider's first season will be pulled off the air earlier than expected.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC has informed the show's cast and crew that the 17th episode, to air on February 25, will be the last of the season.

The network granted the show a season order in October despite poor ratings. They later dropped three cast regulars and retooled the format to bring it more in line with its '80s predecessor.

As with Lipstick Jungle, NBC has refused to confirm that Knight Rider's season cut back signals the end for the show.
