Following the gripping season 1 finale, there has been much anticipation and speculation about a potential second season of the rebooted series Quantum Leap. The show, a continuation of the popular sci-fi show from the ’80s and ’90s, follows Dr. Ben Song as he journeys through different periods hoping to find his way back home.
While the first season expanded on the original show’s concept of Project Quantum Leap, it also introduced new twists and character-driven drama, giving the show its unique feel.

Until then, fans can revisit the original series or explore other sci-fi shows to tide them over. Here is everything we know about the show’s second season.

After the first season of Quantum Leap, Ben’s journey was far from over. While successfully preventing a disaster, he was still stranded in time, and much was left to accomplish. Regarding a potential storyline for the show’s second season, the government’s desire to control time will probably remain a prominent theme, with Ben continuing to make his way through his usual leaps. Following his near-miss with starting World War III in season 1, Ben may also have to confront the consequences of altering history.
