Quantum Leap series.
It’s been nearly 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Now, a new team, led by physicist Ben Song (Raymond Lee), has been assembled to restart the project. 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.
At Ben’s side throughout his leaps is Addison (Caitlin Bassett), a decorated Army veteran who appears in the form of a hologram only Ben can see and hear. Herbert “Magic” Williams (Ernie Hudson) helms the highly confidential operation whose team at headquarters includes Ian Wright (Mason Alexander Park) and Jenn Chou (Nanrisa Lee).
New showrunners: Steven Lillien & Bryan Wynbrandt.

I saw the Quantum Leap pilot filmed here in Vancouver in March, dir. by @helenshaver (’89 SF earthquake scene). What premiered was different, LA-shot, directed by Thor Freudenthal. Now Shaver has been scrubbed from QL’s IMDB page. Anyone know the scoop? @yvrshoots @WhatsFilming pic.twitter.com/Nn9NAWLhED
