We were very fortunate to get some time with David Bartis today and ask few quick questions!

We were told that "things are going really well" from the production offices of the new Knight Rider series. They "are scheduled to start production on the series on June 23rd", in LA (not Vancouver which was briefly rumored last week).

Working with Gary Scott Thompson "has been fantastic" and has "continued to elevate the show in every department"! Additionally they are "doing some designing of the car to make it even cooler" as well as "adding some new cast" to the mix.

We've also been told that they will be at Comicon in San Diego in July. And so we will, to cover it!
