The series is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, with Lilien and Wynbrandt exec producing for their I Have an Idea! Entertainment, Bellisario for his Belisarius Productions, and Gero via his Quinn’s House Productions. Sam Beckett (Bakula) theorized that time-travel within one's own lifetime is possible, and obtains government support to build his project 'Quantum Leap'.

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. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Written and executive produced by Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt and executive produced by Martin Gero as well as Quantum Leap creator/EP Don Bellisario and EP/co-narrator Deborah Pratt, the follow-up series is set in present day. The Rookie spinoff is a frontrunner at ABC the CW only has IP-based pilots with Walker: Independence, Supernatural prequel The Winchesters and Gotham Knights. The pickup likely also will be the first of several this season for projects based on popular IP, something the broadcast networks rely more and more in an uphill battle for eyeballs. In addition to Lee, the cast also includes Caitlin Bassett, Ernie Hudson, Mason Alexander Park and Nanrisa Lee.
They are said to be related to the direction, not casting. I hear the Quantum Leap pilot will undergo some reshoots and is eyed for the post- Voice time slot. Unbroken is headlined by Scott Bakula, star of the original Quantum Leap, who is not involved in the reboot. It is NBC’s only 2022 drama pilot that was in consideration for the fall schedule two others, Unbroken and Blank Slate, would be evaluated for a launch in November or midseason. As Deadline reported in the Early Pilot Buzz story this week, Quantum Leap appeared a lock for a series pickup, with Lee potentially poised to become one of the breakout stars of next season. Quantum Leap Book Club celebrates todays incredible expansion of consciousness as PaRisHa and co-hosts discuss and bring the books to life, role playing them.
