The new series is set 30 years after Dr Sam Beckett vanished into the Quantum Leap accelerator in the original run, and sees the lead scientist on a restarted Quantum Leap project getting lost in the past and trying to find his way home.

Season 1 left us with a barnstorming finale, with fans desperate to see Ben and co back in action.

The series stars Raymond Lee, The Sandman's Mason Alexander Park and Ghostbusters' Ernie Hudson among others, and has proven popular with fans.

How many episodes will Quantum Leap season 2 consist of?

Quantum Leap season 2 will consist of 13 episodes in total, and it's split into two halves.

Volume 2 went into production immediately after volume 1 wrapped.

It means there'll be a bit of a break between volume 1 (six episodes) and volume 2 (seven episodes).

Quantum Leap cast – who will be back for season 2?

We're expecting that the following stars will be back as part of the Quantum Leap cast:

  • Raymond Lee as Ben Song
  • Caitlin Bassett as Addison August
  • Ernie Hudson as Herbert 'Magic' Williams
  • Mason Alexander Park as Ian Wright
  • Nanrisa Lee as Jenn Chu

The one major character we wouldn't expect to return is Walter Perez's Richard Martinez, as showrunner Martin Gero has confirmed that he is "very dead" following the season 1 finale.

He told TVLine: "We wanted to close that story. We need to have endings. We need to have deaths. We need to have conclusions, and so closing out that chapter was really important."

Is there a trailer for Quantum Leap season 2?

Yes! While you wait for the show to drop, you can catch the trailer for Quantum Leap season 2 below.

Quantum Leap season 2 volume 1 will drop on Paramount Plus on 29th February. Check out more of our Sci-Fi coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.
