# Quantum Leap (2022 TV series)

Quantum Leap is an American science fiction television series that aired on NBC. Developed by Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt, it is a revival of the 1989 show created by Donald P. Bellisario. Bellisario, Lilien and Wynbrandt executive produce. It takes place in 2022, thirty years after the original show concluded. The series stars Raymond Lee as the new lead character Dr. Ben Song, along with Caitlin Bassett, Mason Alexander Park, Nanrisa Lee, and Ernie Hudson. Quantum Leap premiered on September 19, 2022. In December 2022, the series was renewed for a second season consisting of 13 episodes, which premiered on October 4, 2023. In April 2024, NBC canceled the series after two seasons.

## Premise

Thirty years have passed since Dr. Sam Beckett vanished into the Quantum Leap accelerator. The Quantum Leap project has been restarted with a new team trying to piece together the mysteries behind Beckett and his machine. For reasons unknown, Dr. Ben Song, the new project's lead physicist, has uploaded new program code to the project systems and used the upgraded accelerator to leap back in time. He becomes lost in the past just as Beckett did, living the lives of other people and changing history in hopes of getting back to the present. Project employee Addison Augustine, who is Ben's fiancée, acts as his liaison with the project, appearing to him as a hologram that only he can see and hear, just as the previous project's observer Al Calavicci did for Beckett.

## Production
### Development

In September 2021, Scott Bakula, who played main character Sam Beckett in the series, hinted that a reboot of the show was being considered, with creator Donald P. Bellisario returning in some capacity. A pilot episode was ordered by NBC the following January with plans for writers Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt to act as showrunners with executive producer Martin Gero and with original producer and writer Deborah Pratt. Helen Shaver was hired to direct the pilot episode and to serve as an executive producer as well. NBC ordered the revival with a full season pickup in May after viewing the test pilot.
After it received a full season order, Aadrita Mukerji and Dean Georgaris joined as additional executive producers, and Gero took over as showrunner while Lilien and Wynbrandt stayed with the series as executive producers. A new pilot was directed by Thor Freudenthal and written by Lilien and Wynbrandt, with the original pilot being scheduled to air later in the season. The decision not to launch the revival with the original premiere episode of the season was made in order to provide a better introduction in the series, and it was rescheduled as the sixth episode with some reshoots added for context.
In September 2022, Bakula confirmed that he had been asked by producers to reprise his role as Sam Beckett in the revival but had ultimately decided to not be involved with the new series, saying in a statement on Instagram, "As the show has always been near and dear to my heart, it was a very difficult decision to pass on the project".
After the first three episodes had aired, NBC ordered six additional episodes for the first season, bringing its total to 18 episodes. On December 12, 2022, NBC renewed the series for a second season consisting of 13 episodes, which premiered on October 4, 2023. The first 8 episodes of the second season went into production immediately after the first season wrapped, with no break in between because of the impending strikes. The final 5 episodes of the second season began filming on November 27, 2023, once the strikes had ended and there was time for pre-production. On April 5, 2024, NBC canceled the series after two seasons.

### Casting

Raymond Lee was the first actor cast in the show, taking the lead role as Dr. Ben Song in March 2022. Shortly afterwards, the cast was filled out with Ernie Hudson, Nanrisa Lee, Mason Alexander Park, and Caitlin Bassett, making her television debut. After being ordered to series, Georgina Reilly joined the cast in a recurring role. In Season 2, two new series regulars were added: Eliza Taylor (The 100) and Peter Gadiot (Yellowjackets).

## Marketing and release

Quantum Leap premiered on September 19, 2022. The show is available to stream on Peacock, the NBC website, the NBC app, and via On-Demand on Comcast/Xfinity Systems for free with ads.

## Reception
### Critical response

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 57% approval rating for Season 1 with an average rating of 5.2/10, based on 23 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "This more serialized reboot of Quantum Leap has enough heart to merit a look from viewers with the luxury of time, but it often forgets to have fun with the episodic structure that made the original a classic." On Metacritic, the series has a weighted average score of 57 out of 100 based on nine critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".
