The fourth and final season of Knight Rider, an American television series, began September 20, 1985, and ended on April 4, 1986. It aired on NBC. The region 1 DVD was released on April 4, 2006.
Interest in the show declined, leading to its cancellation by the end of the season. Hasselhoff, knowing the show was coming to an end, attempted to make a "series finale" and helped conceive the story "The Scent of Roses" with his wife at the time Catherine Hickland, who played Michael's love interest Stephanie "Stevie" Mason in past episodes. The network instead aired "Voodoo Knight" as the final episode. A new street-smart mechanic, played by Peter Parros, was added to the cast in addition to Bonnie. Of all KITT's features added in fourth season, the most important of them is "Super Pursuit Mode". KITT could also convert into an open convertible.
A plane Bonnie is traveling on, becomes hijacked by an ex-intelligence agent (Ron O'Neal), who demands money and the release of political prisoners. Michael and KITT manages to track them to a military bunker that was designed to keep political people save, and is assumed to be impossible to break into. The ex-intelligent agent also activates a time bomb within the bunker. With the help of KITT, Michael manages to get past the defenses, and gets the key to stop the bomb, with just a second to spare.
Michael and KITT investigate the grounds of a movie studio where unexplained accidents on the sets are thought to be the work of a legendary stage phantom. The special affects person is fired, after a special effect pits an actor in the hospital. When he is investigated by Michael, he finds evidence that someone is sabotaging the stunts for the movie. After another accident near costs an actors life, Michael tells everyone that he will check everything before any scene is done. He talks to the director and offers volunteers to be a stunt double, in hopes to catch the legendary stage phantom. He also calls in RC3 to help him out; Michael also finds out that a man name Galvin gains more money if the picture is not finished, because he borrow money from unfriendly men, and is now in serious debt to them. The saboteur kills Galvin because Michael is getting too close. The saboteur turns out to be the director's assistant.
