NBC has released the official trailer for Quantum Leap Season 2, which teases new leaps to Egypt 1961, the Los Angeles Riots in 1992 Koreatown, a UFO investigation in 1949 New Mexico, witch trials in 1692 Massachusetts, and more.
Quantum Leap Season 2 premieres on Wednesday, October 4 at 8:00 p.m. on NBC, and available to stream the next day on Peacock.
The series stars Raymond Lee as Dr. Ben Song, Caitlin Bassett as Addison Augustine, Ernie Hudson as Herbert ‘Magic’ Williams, Mason Alexander Park as Ian Wright, and Nanrisa Lee as Jenn Chu.
The newly-added Season 2 series regulars include Eliza Taylor as Hannah Carson and Peter Gadiot as Tom Westfall.
Martin Gero and Dean Georgaris serve as executive producers along with Deborah Pratt, Chris Grismer, Alex Berger, Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt.
Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, produce in association with Quinn’s House Productions.
“We’re leaping into a second season thanks to the incredible work by our cast, producers, writers and everyone who has played a role in giving this iconic NBC series a new life,” said Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, previously.
“As we continue to bring audiences to our must-watch dramas, it’s gratifying to know ‘Quantum Leap’ will have a prominent place next season both on our NBC schedule and next day on Peacock.”
In the series, 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, has been assembled to restart the project in the 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, 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, 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, who runs the Artificial Intelligence unit “Ziggy,” and Jenn Chou, 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 leaps and bring him home, they must act fast or lose him forever.
