Moderated by Television Week deputy editor/columnist Joe Adalian, fans can also participate in a Q&A panel with executive producer/showrunner Gary Scott Thompson (The Fast and The Furious, Las Vegas); executive producer David Bartis (Heist, The OC); and the entire cast – Justin Bruening (All My Children, Cold Case), Deanna Russo (The Young and the Restless, NCIS), Sydney Tamiia Poitier (Veronica Mars), Paul Campbell (Battlestar Galactica), Yancey Arias (Kingpin), Bruce Davison (X-Men), and Smith Cho (Blades of Glory).

Please note that the unveiling will be filmed for online and DVD purposes so space is limited.

Here’s a synopsis of the upcoming show:

On the heels of NBC’s hit sequel movie, the iconic 1980s television classic comes roaring back to life as a reinvented, updated and super-charged action series showcasing the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand). Absolutely the coolest car ever created, KITT’s “AI” (artificial intelligence) is capable of hacking almost any system. Its weapons systems matches that of a jet fighter, and its body is capable of actually transforming into other vehicles and uses sophisticated holographic imagery to elude villains. Knight Rider stars Justin Bruening, Deanna Russo, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Paul Campbell, Yancey Arias, Bruce Davison and Smith Cho. David Bartis, Doug Liman (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Bourne Identity) and Gary Scott Thompson are executive producers. Based on characters created by Glen Larson, Knight Rider is from Universal Media Studios and Dutch Oven Productions.
