Why the Cobra Kai Team Makes Sense
Hurwitz and Schlossberg have already proven they know how to handle beloved franchises. With its mega hit on Netflix Cobra Kai successfully balanced:
Nostalgia without feeling outdated
Modern storytelling with respect for the original
Legacy characters mixed with fresh faces
That combination could be exactly what Knight Rider needs. The original series, which ran from 1982 to 1986, followed Michael Knight, a lone crimefighter partnered with an advanced talking car a premise that feels surprisingly relevant in today’s AI-obsessed world.
