“Oh boy!” Dr. Ben Seong must be saying to himself after taking his first journey across time in the new trailer for the upcoming revival of Quantum Leap. Released courtesy of The Quantum Leap Podcast, the brief teaser trailer finds Ben landing in 1986 Los Angeles and taking over the body of a female singer in a rock band. You can check out the trailer for Quantum Leap below.

The problems are sure to start quickly, with the good doctor finding himself backstage and preparing to play a gig. Something he presumably has no idea how to do. While the trailer is rather brief, it gives us a good idea of the tone and aesthetics of the Quantum Leap revival, which will pick up 30 years after the original. Alongside the trailer, some promo art for the series has also been unveiled.

Three decades after Dr. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) first stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished, a new team, led by physicist Ben Song (Raymond Lee), has been assembled to restart the project in hope of understanding the mysteries behind the machine and the man who created it. Everything changes, however, when Ben makes an unauthorized leap into the past, leaving the team behind to solve the mystery of why he did it.

Thankfully, Ben will not be alone. Aiding him throughout his leaps is Addison (Caitlin Bassett), who appears in the form of a hologram only Ben can see and hear. A decorated Army veteran who brings level-headed precision to her job, Ben will need her as he leaps from person to person. At the helm of the highly confidential operation is Herbert “Magic” Williams (Ernie Hudson), a no-nonsense career military man who has to answer to his bosses, who won’t be happy once they learn about the breach of protocol. The rest of the team at headquarters includes Ian Wright (Mason Alexander Park), who runs the Artificial Intelligence unit “Ziggy,” and Jenn Chou (Nanrisa Lee), who heads up digital security for the project.

As Ben leaps from life to life, putting right what once went wrong, it becomes clear that he and the team are on a thrilling journey. However, Addison, Magic, Ian and Jenn know that if they are going to solve the mystery of Ben’s leap and bring him home, they must act fast or lose him forever.

The Quantum Leap Revival Will Land on NBC Later This Month

Starring Scott Bakula as Dr. Sam Beckett and Dean Stockwell as Admiral Al Calavicci, the original Quantum Leap ran for five seasons between 1989 and 1993. Following a physicist who involuntarily leaps through spacetime, temporarily taking the place of other people to correct what he consistently discovers were historical mistakes, Quantum Leap is fondly remembered, with many hopeful that Bakula will make an appearance in the upcoming revival.

While Bakula’s involvement status is currently unknown, producer Deborah M. Pratt has stated that this new take on Quantum Leap is just the first step in a Quantum Leap universe. "I think it brings so many new elements. And I go back to Star Trek. Everything that Star Trek can do, Quantum Leap can do,” she said. “I think we should do a series of movies, I think we should do a series of series, and this is very much the first step into that world. And it will be up to the fans."

Quantum Leap is scheduled to debut on Monday, September 19.
