That’s it for Dr. Ben Song and his adventure with the Quantum Leap program. Deadline reports that NBC has cancelled their Quantum Leap reboot after two seasons.
In an interview in February, not long before the second season finale, star Raymond Lee seemed to hint that the end of the line might be approaching, saying, “Everything that we’ve worked towards in the past thirty-some-odd episodes, it’s all building toward something that’s going to be a very, I think, healing end. Or a beginning.”
The rebooted series premiered on NBC in September 2022, and stars Lee as Dr. Ben Song, a physicist in charge of restarting the Quantum Leap project from the original series—who then takes himself off on a totally unauthorized Leap. Caitlin Bassett plays as Addison, Ben’s love interest (and the hologram who helps him navigate the past), and Ernie Hudson is Herbert “Magic” Williams, the head of the whole operation.
Lee posted about the cancellation on Instagram, saying, “If and when another group gets a hold of the accelerator and its capabilities, may they find us floating in time, still striving to put right what once went wrong.”
Meanwhile, Law & Order: SVU was renewed for its twenty-sixth season.
