NBC has picked up Knight Rider for a full season, sources told The Hollywood Reporter.
The network has ordered another nine episodes of the Wednesday-night action drama, which is produced by the network's sister division Universal Media Studios.
Knight Rider has been modestly rated since its premiere, typically matching CBS' comedy block for second place in its 8 p.m. timeslot. The most recent episode was seen by 6.9 million viewers and earned a 2.3 adults 19-49 rating.
The pickup marks the first freshman fall NBC series to receive a full season order, joining CBS' The Mentalist, Fox's Fringe and The CW's 90210. (NBC and Universal Media Studios are owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.)
