Raymond Lee returns as Dr. Ben Song when Season 2 debuts on NBC on October 4.
The first season of the Quantum Leap reboot was faced with the titanic task of appealing to fans of the original and attracting new viewers. It's a wild tightrope to walk, but Dr. Ben Song and his team almost make it look easy. While the series had several ties to the original, it expertly avoided the pitfall of over-relying on nostalgia, leading to a well-received debut.
'Quantum Leap' Season 2 Switches Things Up The debut episode features an exciting roster of guest stars which includes Melissa Roxburgh , Francois Arnaud , P.J. Byrne , and Aaron Abrams . The show had the opportunity to do the cheekiest thing ever, and they absolutely took it by putting Roxburgh back on a flight that doesn’t go as planned for her introduction to Quantum Leap, a hilarious move considering she played Michaela Stone on Manifest which began its run on NBC.
Shortly after the midway mark, the episode takes a sharp turn into the emotions viewers have come to expect from the Quantum Leap reboot, providing a stark reminder of the real-world horrors that are faced by soldiers. The series then has viewers whooping for joy less than five minutes later, serving as just a tease of the emotional rollercoaster Season 2 will set viewers on.
Besides the chemistry among the main cast members, Quantum Leap also benefits from Lee’s seemingly effortless ability to integrate with the new cast members of every episode, almost as if he’s been part of a years-long dynamic. He succeeds at this despite being thrown into unexpected and random scenarios that get more unpredictable as the season goes on. For this reason, Lee as Ben Song is still a winner in Season 2, and easily a personal favorite TV casting in recent years.
