This is far from a guarantee of a reboot. But if anybody with the purse strings is interested, the materialās definitely there.
That news comes courtesy of this weekendās LA Comic Con event, where Quantum Leapās creator, Donald Bellisario, reunited with Scott Bakula during a panel discussion that inevitably turned to reboots.
āI just finished writing a Quantum Leap feature,ā Bellisario announced. āI donāt know whatās going to happen with it, but I did write it.ā
Quantum Leap ended infamously, with one of the most tragic (and unintentionally funny, or maybe thatās just me) end title cards in history, announcing that Bakulaās Sam Beckett never made the leap home. After five seasons of interdimensional problem solving, Sam Beckett was never going to get to solve his own.

Or maybe not? Bellisario wouldnāt divulge any plot details, but it does certainly sound like a continuation: āI write things exactly the same way,ā he told the audience. āI just start writing and I let them take me wherever itās going to take me. Iām entertained the same way the audience is. So I just put Scott and Dean [Stockwell] in my head, kind of rebooted them, and went from there.ā
This isnāt the first time weāve heard rumors of something related to a Quantum Leap movie, so donāt get too excited, but at least Bellisario is still invested. If nothing else, maybe heāll at least release that script sometime. Give us a chance to see where Sam leaps next.
