Plot Synopsis
It's been nearly 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished in the original QUANTUM LEAP series. Now, a new team, led by physicist Ben Song, 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, 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.
On Wednesday, October 4, 2023 at 8pm ET/PT, NBC premiered the sophomore season of QUANTUM LEAP. In the season opener, "This Took Too Long!," instead of leaping home as expected, Ben finds himself in 1978 aboard a top-secret military flight, transporting mysterious cargo. When the flight comes under attack, the plot deepens as Ben and the crew discover the sobering truth behind their mission. After a seven-week break, QUANTUM LEAP returns with new episodes on Tuesday, January 30, 2024 at 10pm ET/PT on NBC, with new episodes debuting Tuesdays at 10pm leading up to the two-hour season finale on February 20 at 9pm. In the winter premiere, "Off the Cuff," when Ben leaps into a bounty hunter escorting the world's most slippery criminal, a deadly pursuit forces them to go into hiding, but Ben quickly realizes this leap is more than meets the eye. Addison faces a difficult decision.
