Quantum Leap is an American science fiction television series aired on NBC. It is a revival of the series of the same name created by Donald P. Bellisario, with Bellisario, Steven Lilien & Bryan Wynbrandt executive producing the new series. It takes place 30 years after Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and after the Season 5 finale where the show left off. The series stars Raymond Lee as new lead character Dr. Ben Song, along with Caitlin Bassett, Mason Alexander Park, Nanrisa Lee, and Ernie Hudson.

The series premiered on September 19, 2022. On December 12, 2022, the series was renewed for a second season.[1]

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 only he can see and hear, just as the previous project's observer Al Calavicci did for Beckett.

Dr. Ben Song celebrates his engagement to Addison Augustine, and receives mysterious texts during the party that leads him to make an unauthorized leap in the Project Accelerator. Awakening in 1985 as an undercover cop, he stops a plot to steal the Hope Diamond. Suffering amnesia from the leap, Ben is aided by Addison, working as his hologram guide. In 2022, the new Project Quantum Leap (PQL) team tries to find out why Ben leapt, and to bring him back.

Note: The episode is dedicated to Dean Stockwell, who played Al in the original series and passed away on November 7, 2021. Both Stockwell and Scott Bakula, who played Sam Beckett, appear in the episode via archive photos.

Space Shuttle Atlantis
September 26, 2022 (2022-09-26)2.77[4]
Ben leaps into David Tamura, an astronaut aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1998. Ben remembers that David was one of his childhood heroes, triggering some of Ben's memory. Ziggy predicts that Ben is there to save David from being killed by debris during a spacewalk. Ben is successful, but the debris instead damages the shuttle's heat shield, which changes history to having the entire crew die when Atlantis disintegrates during re-entry. Ben convinces the crew to seek assistance from the nearby Mir space station, but the cosmonauts are asleep. Ben engages in a daring jump from the shuttle to the station to get the cosmonauts' attention and succeeds in saving the crew. In 2022, Addison shows Ian a flash drive Ben left in their apartment, but asks Ian to keep it quiet after Magic reveals Ben's connection to Janis and orders her to withhold Ben's memories from him until they determine why he leapt. Meanwhile, Magic and Jenn contact Al's widow, Beth, to locate Janis. Beth later calls Janis, leading Magic and Jenn to a house. Inside the basement, Magic and Jenn find a massive amount of servers and calculations in Ben's handwriting. Magic receives a call from Janis, revealing that Ben contacted her for help and warning Magic to stay out of their way. Magic and Jenn escape Janis' booby trap, but retrieve an encrypted hard drive. Addison and Ian reveal their flash drive that, when combined with the hard drive, unlocks data that reveals Ben was trying to reach a precise moment in history, but it remains unclear where, when or why Ben was going.

October 3, 2022 (2022-10-03)2.58[5]
Ben leaps into Danny "Youngblood" Hill, a prizefighter in 1977, the day before his bout for the world middleweight championship. Addison informs him that Danny originally lost the fight because he was distracted and they assume it's due to Danny's girlfriend Angela, who is attached to Danny's opponent. They soon learn, however, that Danny's distraction is his trainer and older brother, Darryl, a Vietnam veteran suffering from PTSD who committed suicide following Danny's loss. Ben makes Darryl promise to seek help and then, with coaching from Darryl and Addison, he wins the fight. Addison informs Ben that his leaps are likely to continue for some time as Ian discovered that Ben's code is taking him on a path towards the mystery point in spacetime and could take dozens of leaps to get there. Ben tells Addison that he had a memory when he got knocked down during the fight but leaps before he can say more. In 2022, Addison is suffering from exhaustion due to her singular focus on getting Ben home. After she collapses in the imaging chamber, Magic forces her to slow down and, following Ben's leap, Magic, Ian and Jenn join Addison at her home to help her unwind and relax. While there, Magic receives a call from Beth, who informs him that Janis contacted her and stole artifacts from the original project that Al had in his possession. One such item was Al's old handlink to Ziggy, which Janis is using to help build her own imaging chamber, presumably to contact Ben.

Ben's first leap into a woman is into Eva Sandoval, a bounty hunter in 1981 Los Angeles. Addison tells Ben he's there to locate Tammy Jean Jessup, a bail skip, but inadvertently ruins a proposal to Eva from her boyfriend and partner, Jake. It is revealed that Tammy Jean is on the run from the cartel and is trying to flee town with her boyfriend, Zack. Ben and Jake track her to Zack's club only to discover that Tammy Jean is Carla, the head of the cartel, and she kills Zack. Ben and Jake are able to stop her and send her to jail, Ben also managing to save Jake and Eva's relationship. Ben then remembers his relationship with Addison before leaping into the Old West. In 2022, Ziggy is still running slow while Ian tries to limit Janis' access into the system. Jenn reveals to Addison that Ben has been keeping secrets from the team for the past six months while Magic reveals to Ian his own past history with Quantum Leap, recounting the time Sam leapt into him in Vietnam and that he restarted the project to honor Sam and, if possible, bring him home. Ian and Jenn resolve to save Ben from the same fate as Sam and bring him home.

Ben lands in Salvation, an Old West town on the verge of destruction by a railroad company, in the body of aged ex-gunslinger Diego de la Cruz, who was summoned by his granddaughter to help save the town from a dangerous outlaw gang hired by the railroad to drive the townsfolk away. Ben, a pacifist, tries to overcome his moral qualms when Addison informs him that he'll have to beat the outlaw leader, Josiah McDonough, in order to leap. Unable to shoot straight, Ben instead rallies the townsfolk to rig a series of traps for McDonough and his gang so they can collect a large bounty to save the town and then informs them of a large vein of copper nearby that will keep them financially stable for years to come. Before Ben leaps, however, he and Addison are surprised to encounter a man in the town who knows Ben's name and that he is a time traveler, warning Ben to stop following him. Meanwhile, in 2022, the PQL team receives a surprise visit from Congresswoman Kavita Adani, who sits on the project's oversight committee, and tries to keep her from figuring out that Ben made an unauthorized leap. She does, anyway, but Magic convinces her to keep the project running by promising to find a way to save her brother from a fatal car accident in the past in which she was driving.

Ben leaps into a priest who has been called to perform an exorcism on a patient named Daisy, who is supposedly possessed by a demon, and has recently turned 18. Since Ben is not religious, he is uncomfortable performing an exorcism because it goes against his beliefs. Unknown interference prevents Addison from communicating with Ben. When Daisy's aunt is found dead in her room, her family debates whether Daisy murdered her or if the demon did it. Her aunt's will names Daisy to inherit all her money and possessions, which they suspect to be a motive. Ben later discovers that Daisy's symptoms are consistent with being exposed to certain poisons. Eventually he figures out that Daisy's mother and uncle murdered her aunt, and have been poisoning Daisy. Daisy's mother was unhappy with her husband, and so has been having an affair with her brother in law. After Daisy died, her uncle would be next in line to inherit her aunt's money, which Daisy's mother and uncle were going to use to start a new life together. Daisy's mother and uncle are arrested. Ben gets a message from Janis Calavicci (who has been causing the interference preventing Addison from communicating with Ben) warning him, but leaps before she can tell him what she is warning him about.

Production

Development

In September 2021, Scott Bakula, who played main character Sam Beckett in the original series, hinted that a reboot of the original Quantum Leap was being considered, with creator Donald P. Bellisario returning in some capacity.[14] 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 series producer and writer Deborah Pratt.[15] Helen Shaver was hired to direct the pilot episode and to serve as an executive producer as well.[16] NBC ordered the show to series in May after reviewing the pilot.[17]

After it received a full series 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.[18][19] A new pilot was directed by Thor Freudenthal, with the original pilot being scheduled to air later in the season.[19] The decision not to launch the revival with the original pilot was made in order to provide a better introduction to the series,[20] and it was rescheduled as the sixth episode with some reshoots added for context.[21]

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".[22]

After the first three episodes had aired, NBC ordered six additional episodes for the first season, bringing its total to 18 episodes.[23] On December 12, 2022, NBC renewed the series for a second season.[24] initially consisting of 13 episodes, with a possibility of more, and going into production immediately after the first season with no break.[25]

Casting

Raymond Lee was the first actor cast in the show, taking the lead role as Dr. Ben Song in March 2022.[26] Shortly afterwards, the cast was filled out with Ernie Hudson, Nanrisa Lee, Mason Alexander Park, and Caitlin Bassett, making her television debut.[27][28] After being ordered to series, Georgina Reilly joined the cast in a recurring role.[29]

Marketing and release

Quantum Leap Season 6 premiered on September 19, 2022.[30] The show is available to stream on Peacock and NBC website and NBC app and On-Demand on Comcast/Xfinity System with ads.

Reception

Critical response

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 50% approval rating with an average rating of 5.2/10, based on 20 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."[31] On Metacritic, the series has a weighted average score of 56 out of 100 based on eight critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[32]
