Talk of a “Quantum Leap” reboot is still just talk for now. The Emmy-nominated Scott Bakula who played the central character Dr. Sam Beckett on the NBC show that aired from 1989 to 1993 says that ownership rights are holding up the possibility for rebooting the show:
“There’s a big, long, complicated paper trail in terms of ownership – it was bought by different studios; Barry Diller bought it… that’s the world of Universal Television. And if Universal TV gets bought, it’ll get even more complicated.”
You can see Scott Bakula in the TNT drama, “Men of a Certain Age”, that premieres on December 7th.
