NBC’s revival of Quantum Leap is currently airing its second season, but unfortunately, there isn’t a new episode airing tonight (November 22), nor is there a new installment on November 29. Good news, though: The show will be back for two more new episodes on December 6 and 13!
The December 6 episode is called “A Kind of Magic.” No, the title isn’t about Ernie Hudson’s character — though who knows, maybe it could be. In that one, Ben leaps back to 1692 — the farthest he’s ever been — where he finds himself on trial for practicing witchcraft; with limited records online, the team must race to save him before he’s put to death.
“Nomad” is the new episode scheduled for December 13. You can see an image from that one up above. When Ben leaps as far as Egypt into an undercover CIA agent caught in a dangerous game of international espionage, he must move quickly to save a woman’s life.
NBC has not yet announced when Quantum Leap is returning for the rest of Season 2 in 2024, but recent casting notices have confirmed that more episodes will be shot and aired.
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 the 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 (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 Chu (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 leaps and bring him home, they must act fast or lose him forever.
