NBC has decided not to continue
with a third season of the reboot of the 1989 series Quantum Leap. The network
has canceled the show after its two-season run, according to sources at Morfeli.

The series, starring Raymond Lee, concluded its second season in February but struggled with low ratings, making it one of NBC's least-watched scripted originals.
Quantum Leap, produced by Universal
Television, was quickly renewed for a second season by NBC to ensure a steady
stream of scripted content during the writers and actors strikes.
The continuation of the original
series was led by Martin Gero and Dean Georgaris, who served as executive
producers alongside Deborah Pratt, Chris Grismer, and Alex Berger. Steven
Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt developed the series and acted as showrunners for
the update.
Quantum Leap marks NBC's first cancellation of the season, following the network's earlier renewals of five out of its six Dick Wolf shows. NBC also gave early renewals to rookie dramas Found and The Irrational, both of which were developed during the 2022 pilot season and managed to air despite the strikes.
NBC's decision to cancel Quantum
Leap comes after the network ended La Brea and Magnum P.I. earlier this year,
after three and six seasons, respectively. The network has already lined up
drama Dr. Wolf for the next season, but still has to decide on the fate of bubble
drama Law & Order: Organized Crime.
On the comedy side, NBC has already
ordered St. Denis Medical for the next season. Shows like Lopez vs. Lopez,
Night Court, and rookie Extended Family are still on the bubble, along with a
couple of half-hour pilots that are in contention.
