Has Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) made his final leap? It would appear so, as Deadline has reported that NBC has canceled Quantum Leap after two seasons. The series had been on the bubble, so the news isn’t a complete surprise, but it’s sure to be disappointing for fans.
The follow-up to the original series takes place nearly 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Now, a new team, led by physicist Ben Song (Lee), has been assembled to restart the project. Everything changes, however, when Ben makes an unauthorized leap into the past, leaving the team behind to solve the mystery of why he did it. The second season finale aired on February 20th. While it wasn’t written to be a series finale, Quantum Leap showrunners Martin Gero and Dean Georgaris hoped it could provide some closure while also setting the stage for new stories.

“Quantum Leap” has been canceled at NBC after two seasons, Variety has confirmed.
The show served as a followup to the 1989 show of the same name starring Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell. The revamped version starred Raymond Lee as physicist Dr. Ben Song, whose attempt to restart the Quantum Leap project pioneered by Dr. Sam Beckett leads to him being trapped in different people’s lives in the past just like Beckett. As he seeks to put right what once went wrong in those lives, he “leaps” to different lives while hoping that each leap will be the leap home.
The cast of the series also included Caitlin Bassett, Ernie Hudson, Mason Alexander Park, and Nanrisa Lee. Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt developed the series and served as executive producers alongside Martin Gero via Quinn’s House, Dean Georgaris, Deborah Pratt, Chris Grismer, and Alex Berger. Universal Television was the studio.

Photo credit: “Shutterstock.AI” It’s hard to believe it’s been 35 years since Quantum Leap premiered. The beloved sci-fi series followed Dr. Sam Beckett (played by Emmy-nominated actor Scott Bakula), a scientist who time-travels through his own lifetime, “leaping” into different people to make wrongs right. His sidekick, played by the late Dean Stockwell, was a hologram only Dr. Beckett could see and hear. Each week, Bakula played not only himself but also a new character, as the person he leaped into. The series had heart, and that magic was due to the original concept and amazing chemistry between Bakula and Stockwell. Since the original series left TV in 1993, it has gained new fans. We’ve spoken to Scott Bakula about what makes the series so enduring for both new and old fans.

“(Sam) awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better.”
With music!
Of all the ways Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) would leap into others lives to put right what once went wrong on Quantum Leap, the most stories were always ones that involved music. Scott Bakula can do pretty much anything but that man can Sing. The people behind Quantum Leap took great advantage of this and across five seasons they gave him (and other actors) the chance to belt out many incredible songs – some originally written for the show itself and some flawless covers.
Now we’re going through the best of the best of these performances. We’ll be looking at the original series, the 2022 continuation, and an extra gem along the way. To help narrow this list down,...

This article contains spoilers for Quantum Leap season 2 episode 13 “Against Time.”
In the Quantum Leap season 2 finale, Ben (Raymond Lee) finally has the chance to get back home thanks to a code provided by his season-long love interest, Hannah (Eliza Taylor) and the work of tech-genius Ian (Mason Alexander Park.) There’s just one catch. Someone will have to swap places with Ben and it’s obvious who’d step up: Addison (Caitlin Bassett). After all, she was originally supposed to be the Leaper before Ben leapt in her place in season 1 of the new Quantum Leap.
Addison uses the Quantum Leap accelerator and ends up in the past. Her hair is different and lipstick is more prominent. She’s leaped. Around her people run to safety as bombs go off. She looks around and spots Ben. Is he now her hologram? The two run to each other and touch,...

Quantum Leap wrapped its second season on NBC last night, and now viewers are wondering about the show's future. NBC has not yet renewed the sci-fi drama for a third season, but co-showrunners Martin Gero and Dean Georgaris do have the season mapped out. However, the season two finale could also work as a series finale.
Starring Raymond Lee, Caitlin Bassett, Ernie Hudson, Mason Alexander Park, Nanrisa Lee, Eliza Taylor, and Peter Gadiot, the Quantum Leap series follows Ben Song (Lee) as he takes over the Quantum Leap project and gets stuck traveling through time as Sam Beckett did in the original series.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the Quantum Leap Season 2 finale “Against Time.”] The team on Quantum Leap now has a code that leads to so many questions about these trips through time to right wrongs and the people making them and the different ways it could be used, which, of course, leads us to wonder: Could it bring Sam Beckett home? The Darpa code that Ian (Mason Alexander Park) was working on in the present turned out to be created by Hannah (Eliza Taylor), Ben’s (Raymond Lee) love interest he kept running into on leaps, to bring him home. But, as the team learned, someone would have to swap places with him. Addison (Caitlin Bassett), Ben’s ex-fiancée and the one who was supposed to leap in the first place before he did to save her life, volunteered to do so. Only, in the final moments, instead, Ben and Addison ...

Officially, Prime Video’s spy drama Mr. and Mrs. Smith is based on the 2005 film of the same name. Unofficially, however, its origins are a bit murkier. Though this 2024 streaming iteration of Mr. and Mrs. Smith starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine shares its basic premise with the previous Brad Pitt and Angelina-starring version (a married couple who also happen to be spies), the series diverges from it in some major ways as well.
In an interview with The Today Show, Glover (who also co-created the 2024 series) even admitted to not having seen the 2005 Doug Liman-directed film when he decided to embark upon the project. Co-creator Francesca Sloane wrote in an open letter to fans that “No one would need a show that retold the same blockbuster movie. But what we set out to do was to make something wholly original.”

Could Ben actually return home? That’s the question many have been asking since Quantum Leap’s midseason finale on Dec. 13.
In the episode, titled “Nomads,” Tom (played by Peter Gadiot) came back from his impromptu trip to Washington, D.C., with a giant file that he said contained a “way to bring Ben home.” The intel was recovered from a fragment of a hard drive from the discontinued Darpa project.

When Quantum Leap returned to television in 2022, the difference noted immediately between Dr. Ben Song's and Dr. Sam Beckett's adventures was their support team.
Where Sam had only Al Calavicci as his holo-guide, Ben enters the accelerator knowing a team of friends (and one secret conspirator) has his back.
Having that team -- specifically, computer specialist Ian Wright, Security Chief Jenn Chu, and team leader Herbert "Magic" Williams -- has imbued the new series with a life and tone all its own.
Speaking exclusively with TV Fanatic over Zoom, the actors who play the HQ Trio -- Mason Alexander Park, Nanrisa Lee, and Ernie Hudson -- open up about their personal connections to the show and how Quantum Leap Season 2 adds depth and nuance to their characters and the narrative.
When TV Fanatic spoke with Ernie Hudson before the series premiere, we asked about his own history with the franchise.

If there’s one question that dominates discussion around the new Quantum Leap, especially with those who aren’t die-hard fans, it’s a simple one. “Is Scott Bakula gonna show up?” Even two seasons in there’s still a hope among original series fans that original series star Bakula will somehow make a return appearance as Dr. Sam Beckett.
It’s not as if Bakula has avoided more modern throwbacks to the original series. He made a comedic return as Sam in a sketch on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2016 and a self-deprecating appearance on a Quantum Leap-referencing episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia in 2017. Bakula clearly has affection for the role, so why hasn’t he appeared in the new series?

The Quantum Leap project has been kept well under wraps ... until now.
NBC shared the official trailer for Quantum Leap Season 2 on Monday, and it teases Ben filling in someone about his time-traveling job.
In the new footage, Ben tells Hannah (played by The 100's Eliza Taylor) all about it.
As previously reported, Taylor is one of two new series regulars this season, so we're inclined to believe Ben and Hannah will be spending a lot of time together.
Peter Gadiot is the other new addition as US Army Officer Tom Westfall.
The exciting new footage teases leaps to Egypt in 1961, the Los Angeles Riots in 1992 Koreatown, a UFO investigation in 1949 New Mexico, witch trials in 1692 Massachusetts, and more.
If you watch Quantum Leap online, you know the leaps keep the show fresh because they offer new locations and time periods for the characters.

There's a lot more leaping in our future, Fanatics!
After a thirty-year break, the Quantum Leap project is once again a going concern, and NBC is backing it with an early renewal, guaranteeing fans will have more adventures with Dr. Ben Song and his team to look forward to.
Quantum Leap is currently on its midseason hiatus, having aired eight episodes and with ten more to come after NBC added six more episodes in October to its initial twelve-episode season order.
A continuation of the 1990's sci-fi time travel adventure that starred Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell, the new series has done an admirable job treading a new path while paying respect to the canon that has come before.
2022's Quantum Leap is more of an ensemble cast than its predecessor, with Ernie Hudson, Caitlin Bassett, Mason Alexander Park, and Nanrisa Lee starring alongside Raymond Lee as the time-traveling Dr.

“Quantum Leap” just fast-forwarded to Season 2. NBC has renewed its new “Quantum Leap,” the revival of the ’90s science-fiction series, for a second season.
This “Quantum Leap,” which stars Raymond Lee as Dr. Ben Song, has been a strong performer for both NBC and for Peacock, where episodes stream next-day. “Quantum Leap” (2022) sees Song following up on the work of Scott Bakula’s lead character Dr. Sam Beckett — and his time-travel adventures — 30 years later.
“Quantum Leap” airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on NBC, following “The Voice.” Currently on a winter break, “Leap” returns January 2. (“The Voice” is airing its two-part season finale tonight and tomorrow night.) To-date, “Quantum Leap” pilot episode has amassed more than 10 million viewers across the broadcast network and NBCUniversal’s streaming service. That’s pretty good these days, but execs will love to leap back to the Nielsen ratings sheets of 1989.

The world can be a depressing place, but that doesn't mean TV has to be. Here are some of the most optimistic TV dramas.
This article comes from Den of Geek UK.
Think of a handful of the most watched and acclaimed dramas of recent years. The Handmaid’s Tale. Game Of Thrones. Chernobyl. They’re not a cheerful bunch, are they? Comedy-drama Orange is the New Black spent much of its final season highlighting the plight of those caught in the United States’ horrifying immigration systems. New Star Trek series Discovery has gone for a dark, gritty feel and some downbeat storylines. Even cute '90s sitcom Sabrina the Teenage Witch has been re-imagined as dark teen drama The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, in which Sabrina’s aunts encourage her to be baptized into the Church of Night.

Here's why the Night King may win in the final season of Game of Thrones.
"HBO is keeping much of what happens in Game of Thrones Season 8 a secret, but we do know the Night King and his forces are looming large. The Army of the Dead is ready to do even more damage after bringing down the wall, but no matter what he does, the Night King has to lose, right? Maybe not, according to several new interviews with the cast and crew of Game of Thrones Season 8. 'I don’t think of him as evil, I think of him as Death,' showrunner David Benioff told Entertainment Weekly of the Night King. 'And that’s what he wants — for all of us.

To mark the release of Quantum leap on 29th January and 30 Rock, out now, we’ve been given 1 set of both to give away on Blu-ray.
30 Rock
Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) is the head writer of The Girly Show but her life is turned upside down when brash new network executive Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) interferes with her show, bringing the wildly unpredictable and mentally unstable Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) into the cast – renaming it Tgs with Tracy Jordan. Now it’s up to Liz to manage the mayhem and still try to have a life.
Quantum Leap
Physicist Sam Beckett finds himself trapped leaping through spacetime with his holographic guide Al during a time travel experiment. Beckett takes the place of a different person in a different time period each week where he and Al have to correct historical mistakes before moving on.
Please note: This competition is open...
