The NBC show Quantum Leap first premiered in 1989 and ran for four years, following a scientist that involuntarily leaps through time during experimentation with time travel. In 2022, NBC traveled back in time themselves, giving Quantum Leap a reboot with a similar premise to the original.
The 2022 series of Quantum Leap features Raymond Lee as Dr. Ben Song. Like the scientist from the original series, Ben travels through time via the same mechanism — the Project Accelerator. However in this series, Ben travels voluntarily, without telling any of the other team members working on the project alongside him. They are then tasked with bringing Ben home safely, all while trying to uncover why he leapt in the first place.
The show features a star-studded cast, and many fans may recognize the cast of Quantum Leap from other projects. Here's more on the background of each major cast member, with each ranked in order of net worth.
