Also added to the Quantum Leap Season 2 cast is Peter Gadiot of Once Upon A Time in Wonderland fame who will be playing Tom Westfall, a U.S. Army Officer, former special forces, now high up in Army Intelligence. Variety describes him as “thoughtful, centered, a spiritual kind of warrior who both men and women admire, but whose humility keeps him from ever being arrogant” and will take on a crucial role overseeing the Quantum Leap project.
Finally, NBC has released a number of preview images from the new season, including shots of Eliza Taylor and Peter Gadiot, and more than that – we have some episode titles. The season premiere is called “This Took Too Long!” and the second episode of the season is “Ben & Teller.” Additionally, the fifth episode of Quantum Leap Season 2 is called “One Night in Koreatown.” You can find some preview photos from those episodes below; we see Manifest’s Melissa Roxburgh is among the guest stars! This post has been updated with new Season 2 key art featuring Raymond Lee!
UPDATE: We have an official description for the season premiere: 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.

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.
