Knight Rider will make a return to UK screens next month on the Sci Fi channel.

The new series will kick off with a feature-length pilot episode in which both K.I.T.T. and ex-soldier Mike Traceur are reborn for a new generation as they join forces to fight crime.

David Hasselhoff will also make an appearance in the pilot episode, which airs on Tuesday, May 12 at 8pm.

Last month, Sci Fi announced that it had acquired the first run UK pay-TV rights to the 1980s sequel, alongside Joss Whedon's Dollhouse.
