Will There Be A ‘Quantum Leap’ Season 3?
Although there is no confirmation, during a recent interview with Collider, showrunner Martin Gero had this to say about the potential for a Season 3:
“It’s such an unusual show. When we were doing Blindspot, I really did have an idea of what that last season was gonna be about, or what each season thematically was about. With this one, we’ve known, since pretty early on, what Season 2 is gonna be, and we have a brief idea for what Season 3 is gonna be. Beyond that, it’s a show that is a little more segmented than other TV shows. We’re trying to make it feel like a series of novels that you really love, with each season having a very clear beginning, middle, and end. And so, we have a great novel planned for Season 2, and a really great idea for what Season 3 would be.”
Despite poor ratings in Season 1, a new time slot and strong casting additions will hopefully breathe new life intoQuantum Leapand see the show through to a third season and beyond.
