Quantum Leap 2022: Season 1

NOTE 7th APRIL 2023: For the next few weeks this page will be frozen, as I’m focussing all my efforts on locking down the text for Volumes One and Two of Beyond the Mirror Image. In May I will tidy up the Season 1 entries below, and start gathering together news for Season 2.

ForeverTV is now the home for the website QuantumLeapInfo.net, the premiere source for verified (not rumoured) information on the new series.

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. Embracing the iconic series’ signature blend of humor, heart, and history, this reboot expands upon the Quantum Leap universe, taking us on a thrilling journey across space and time, exploring the timeless notion of what it’s like to walk in another person’s shoes, and the enduring value of changing lives for the better. Lee plays the lead, Dr. Ben Song, a world-renowned physicist working on a time-travel project known as Quantum Leap who gets stuck in the late 1980s with amnesia after using the technology. Hudson portrays Herbert “Magic” Williams, a Vietnam veteran and head of the time travel project at Quantum Leap. Using a bit of politicking and his military know-how to keep the Pentagon at bay, Magic buys the team some time to rescue Ben but expects answers once he’s back.
