After a month-long midseason break, NBC’s Quantum Leap is set to make a comeback with the remaining episodes of its second season. The show, which has garnered a loyal fanbase, is scheduled to resume airing on Tuesday, January 30. However, there will be a slight change in its airing schedule, as it will now migrate to Tuesday nights instead of its previous Wednesday timeslot.
For the last run of episodes, the first three will be broadcasted weekly, while the final two will be paired together for a thrilling two-hour finale on February 20. Quantum Leap’s second season has already made an impact, ranking among the top five shows for the 18-49 age group and attracting 3.9 million viewers on TV alone. Across TV and streaming platforms combined, the season has accumulated an impressive 4.9 million viewers.
The last episode before the hiatus hinted at a potential way to help Ben, played by Raymond Lee, return home definitively. With Tom, portrayed by Peter Gadiot, providing Caitlin (Addison Augustine) with vital information, the team is eager to act on this lead. There is even speculation that this could result in Sam Beckett, the original series lead, making a return to the present day.
While fans eagerly await the remaining episodes, there is uncertainty regarding the future of Quantum Leap beyond season two. The show’s renewal for a third season has yet to be confirmed. However, despite the uncertainties, the second season was greenlit during the holiday break of the first season in 2022. Additionally, NBC ordered six additional episodes shortly after the show’s initial launch.
Regardless of its fate, Quantum Leap will continue to captivate audiences when it returns on January 30. Fans can also catch the episodes on Peacock the following day. Stay tuned for more thrilling adventures and discover what lies ahead for this time-traveling phenomenon.
