In a matter of days, a new era of Quantum Leap will be arriving on our television screens, with NBC launching a new reboot of the hit sci-fi series. One of the biggest questions on the minds of fans has been whether or not Scott Bakula, who starred in the original series as Sam Beckett, will be factoring into the proceedings in some way. In a series of tweets posted on Thursday, Bakula explained that he isn’t involved in the current incarnation of the show — but that Sam Beckett was briefly included in a version of the pilot script.
(2/5) I have no connection with the new show, either in front of the camera or behind it.In January, the pilot was sold and a script was sent to me because the character of Sam Beckett was in it, which makes sense, right? As so many of you have been asking me the last…
(4/5) that has upset and confused so many fans of the original series. However, the idea of anyone ‘leaping’ around in time and walking a mile in someone else’s shoes, remains a very appealing concept and so worthy of exploration, especially given the current state of mankind…
(5/5) In that spirit, I am crossing my fingers that this new cast and crew are lucky enough to tap into the magic that propelled the original Quantum Leap into the hearts and minds of generations past and present.I wish them good luck and happy leaping!SB
