A note from Raymond Lee, star of Quantum Leap, to all the Leapers: Brian: "You have to be on cloud nine, the lead on the new Quantum Leap! Anything you'd like to say to fans...?" Ray: "Hey Brian, very nice to meet you and cloud nine is right!

Official Synopsis: It's
been nearly 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum
Leap accelerator and vanished. Now, a new team, led by physicist Ben
Song (Raymond Lee), has been assembled to restart the project in hope
of understanding the mysteries behind the machine and the man who
created it. 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. At Ben's side throughout his leaps is Addison (Caitlin
Bassett), who appears in the form of a hologram only Ben can see and
hear. She's a decorated Army veteran who brings level-headed precision
to her job. At the helm of the highly confidential operation is Herbert
"Magic" Williams (Ernie Hudson), a no-nonsense career military man who
has to answer to his bosses who won't be happy once they learn about
the breach of protocol. The rest of the team at headquarters includes
Ian Wright (Mason Alexander Park), who runs the Artificial Intelligence
unit "Ziggy," and Jenn Chou (Nanrisa Lee), who heads up digital
security for the project. As Ben leaps from life to life, putting right
what once went wrong, it becomes clear that he and the team are on a
thrilling journey. However, Addison, Magic, Ian and Jenn know that if
they are going to solve the mystery of Ben's leap and bring him home,
they must act fast or lose him forever. Steven Lilien and Bryan
Wynbrandt will write and executive produce. Don Bellisario, Deborah
Pratt and Martin Gero executive produce. Universal Television, a
division of Universal Studio Group, will produce in association with I
Have an Idea! Entertainment, Belisarius Productions and Quinn's House
Productions.
7/1/2022 Watch the first teaser trailer (thanks to the Quantum Leap Podcast) here! Quantum Leap will air its' first new episode on Monday, September 19th at 10pm on NBC! 6/23/2022 Source: thathashtagshow.com Quantum Leap is shooting a NEW pilot episode at network request! Bit of a shakeup happening. This does NOT mean the former pilot episode featuring the San Francisco earthquake we previously reported on will never be shown. Just not yet...From That Hashtag Show: It’s been 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Now a new team has been assembled to restart the project in the hopes of understanding the mysteries behind the machine and the man who created it. Leading the new Quantum Leap project is Dr. Ben Song. Ben is a first-generation American, a world-renowned physicist, and a man of faith. One of the key scenes in the pilot episode is Ben’s engagement party. His fiance is Addison (Caitlin Bassett), a witty, fearless ex-military operative. When Ben uses the Quantum Leap project on himself, disappearing into the past, Addison takes over the technology to communicate with the past. In addition to the engagement party, the pilot episode will also feature a major heist. A group of criminals attempt to break into the Smithsonian to nab the ultimate prize: the Hope Diamond. It’s not a crime totally motivated by greed though; one of the thieves just wants to make enough money to afford life-saving surgery for his wife. While NBC has already found it's series leads, casting is currently underway for supporting roles for the pilot episode. These include several guests at the engagement party, at least one of the criminals involved in the heist, and the ill wife, among others.
NBC has given QUANTUM LEAP a SERIES order! Season One will air
this fall 2022 on Mondays at 10pm EST on NBC!

SYNOPSIS It’s been 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Now a new team has been assembled to restart the project in the hopes of understanding the mysteries behind the machine and the man who created it.Leading the new Quantum Leap project is Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee). Ben is a first-generation American, a world-renowned physicist, and a man of faith.

However, Addison, Magic, Ian and Jenn know that if they are going to solve the mystery of Ben’s leap and bring him home, they must act fast or lose him forever. ____________________________ *The setting of the initial leap (new pilot episode) is during an attempted heist of the Hope Diamond at the Smithsonian. *The setting of another leap (former pilot episode) is during the 1989 San Fransisco earthquake. Scraps of knowledge currently available: "…we are going to see Ben leap into the middle of an historical event. Ben is not there to change anything about the outcome (…) but that historical event is the backdrop of the episode” “The heart of this show is exactly the same in so many ways. And the domestic quality, if you will, of the leaps, I think is going to be something that we continue to see that that these are real people, everyday people” The Project will be shown just as much as the past It’s an ensemble show – “everyone has a pretty heavy role to play” “Being lost in time is going to be a result of [Ben] leaping prematurely” Ziggy is in the series: “they are offline at the beginning of the pilot, but we won’t go into any detail… eventually, Ziggy boots up” and will be providing information: “we can confirm that there are some some lines of dialogue that involve percentages of chances.” “Ian [Wright] will probably have a lot to do with Ziggy.” – pointing out what the character description says he ‘prefers the company of computers to that of other people.’ There is going to be a handlink: “It was described to us by the observer as a smartphone on steroids. And it’s colorful.” Sam and Al are part of the story: “they are going to establish in the pilot that Al passed away a few months before the events of the pilot.” Sam, meanwhile, is mentioned “numerous times”, and the new pilot “is absolutely a sequel.” About Magic: “it’ll be really interesting to see the direction that they take that character, because obviously, there’s only so much that he’s going to get to do in the pilot (…) in future episodes there’s there’s a lot of stuff they could explore." “You, you fan of the classic series, you’re in good hands, because the producers love, love the old show. And while they are branching off, and they’re doing something new, they are going to treat our old characters and the old feel of the show with love.” PRODUCTION PHOTOS (Untitled Earthquake episode) AKA former Pilot Episode
