New Knight Rider?

[Phalanx]

So I downloaded some 2 hour episode of this, about 6 months ago.
However, episode 1 has just come out, I got it, and it appears to be a completely different show to the pilot, with some actors the same, some characters the same, and some dropped?
Any ideas what happened there?
Is this meant to be a continuation of that one I got months ago?

I'm not sure, I haven't seen either, but it might be a case of the pilot not being terribly successful (I haven't heard too many good things) and they wanted to try to "fix" it, maybe?

Oh hold on, just found this article...might answer your question:

Thanks for the info...yeah, seems like they might've not had the best feedback on the "pilot movie" and kind've respun it with a few of the same characters, ha, probably dumbed it down some.
