Bonnie To Die In Season 5?
Now I know Season 5 of Knight Rider never became a reality, but I've heard widespread rumors that before the show was canceled that plans for season 5 were already under talks. And I heard the producers and writers wanted to kill Bonnie off in season 5. So does this mean season 5 was the supposed to be the last season? We'll never know since the plug was pulled in Season 4.

I can't think so. If they were going to do a fifth season, why would they write Bonnie out of the script? Unless Patricia McPherson wanted to quit and not come back. At the rate it was going in the fourth season, it was very obvious the plug was going to be pulled. Heck, Hasselhoff was wanting to leave when they were only making Scent of Roses. I don't think they planned to go any further once the last season started making those really corny episodes. What more could they have possibly done with KITT other than make him fly?

Why kill her off in the series finale if the show had lasted up to another season? She wasn't even in the last episode that did end the series. Bonnie was just someone who you saw in times of giving KITT his needed maintenance. That's probably why she was first seen in the second episode and last seen in the one before the final episode.

Having talked to both Patricia McPherson and executive producer Robert Foster for the book, I can tell you that this rumor is completely FALSE. Knight Rider was cancelled in early 1986, so the crew still had 4th season episodes to complete. They knew far enough in advance that there was not going to be a 5th season. I've never seen any concrete proof of a fifth season storyline where Bonnie dies. Now if a script turned up....

Well... Season 4 was the end Thats for sure... If Bonnie was to die in a final episode or near the end, I think that would reck the sence of completeness. A happy ended should be in order... They could get a lot of people in tears if they had Bonnie killed by a returning. Have KITT blow up... Maybe the semi will crash and Devon will die too. Oh and RCIII will have a biking accident. Oh and MK... He will fall up the stairs to the foundation and break his neck... lol... That would be so sad.. But kind'a silly
No that was just mean having a little fun... But that would be sad to watch.
Anyhow I feel that personnally that kind of ending to the show, or having Bonnie die would surely take its hit on the viewers...

I just wonder how this rumor got started. Sure has people thinking..It sure had me thinking. I mean how do you think Michael would take it? First Stevie, then Bonnie, that would be too much for him. Oh and KITT..God, KITT would probably go into some dark cave and shut down, or drive himself off a cliff and commit suicide. We all know KITT loved Bonnie like she was his mother.

It wasn't so much that Hasselhoff was tired of Knight Rider, it was just the fact that the ratings had declined, and Universal didn't think it was profitable. In fact Hasselhoff didn't say much about wanting it to be over, but for the most part, the original writers had left, Jack Gill wanted to call it quits, and the ratings had nosedived a bit. Hasselhoff wasn't fed up, however.

I have the script for "Girls' Knight Out". It was written for the 3rd season, but ended up be rewritten and eventually became season four's "Knight Behind Bars". Bonnie doesn't die in any version of that script. I also have two other unproduced KR scripts - "Endangered Species" and "Knight School" - Bonnie is safe in both cases there, too.
