“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. Gero and Georgaris served as co-showrunners.
“Quantum Leap” originally debuted on NBC in September 2022. It was renewed for a second season in December of that year. Season 2 launched in October 2023, with the season finale airing in February. It will now serve as the series finale.
Most recently, NBC announced that it had renewed “Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago P.D.,” “Law & Order” and “Law & Order: SVU” for the 2024-2025 season. A decision is still pending for “Law & Order: Organized Crime” starring Christopher Meloni. The freshman dramas “Found” and “The Irrational” were renewed for second seasons back in November.
Deadline first reported the cancellation news.
