NBC did their best to re-introduce Quantum Leap to new generations, but their mission wasn’t extremely successful. The reboot of the classic sci-fi series failed to impress viewers and critics alike, and it’s officially been canceled after two seasons.

The new version of Quantum Leap is set 30 years after the original series, and it sees the team of new scientists restarting the Quantum Leap project. They’re trying to solve the mysteries behind this cryptic machine, whose creator Dr. Sam Beckett vanished into the Quantum Leap accelerator, never to be seen again.

Raymond Lee led the cast of the reboot series, alongside Caitlin Bassett, Mason Alexander Park, Nanrisa Lee, Ernie Hudson, Peter Gadiot, and Eliza Taylor.

Co-showrunners Martin Gero and Dean Georgaris previously discussed the show’s future in an interview with Deadline and said they tried to neatly wrap up the story in the Season 2 finale, while also hoping they’ll get to keep telling it.

“When we got the early renewal for Season 2, we knew we were not going to end it on a cliffhanger. We were going to end it on the first scene from Season 3, […] but in a way that you never expected… So if it feels like a completion for audiences, that’s wonderful,” explained Georgaris in an interview with Deadline.
