Plot

Set 30 years after Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished, follows a new team that must restart the project hoping to understand the mysteries behind the machine and its creator.

A sequel series to Quantum Leap (1989), which told the story of physicist Dr. Sam Beckett, a scientist who found himself trapped in time after a botched government time travel experiment run by the military, which forced him to leap from body to body and into different peoples lives sorting out their problems and hoping to return home. The new Quantum Leap sequel takes place 30 years after Dr. Sam Beckett disappeared into the Quantum Leap accelerator and never returned. This new series centers around a new character, Dr. Ben Song, played by Raymond Lee. Dr. Song has ultimately been tasked with leading a new team to uncover the mysteries surrounding the original experiment and the now-missing scientist Dr. Sam Beckett.

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 Augustine (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.—NBC
