Save Quantum Leap - Season 3 Renewal Up in the Air
A letter-writing campaign saved the original in the 90s. Could it be done again?
The 2022 reboot of Quantum Leap completed filming this week. It’s been known to fans following the series for a few weeks that renewal is up in the air. Today in an interview with TV Insider, Caitlin Bassett (Addison) noted that it’s really all up to viewers tuning into the last five episodes at this point. The series returns on Tuesday, January 30th, with a two-hour season finale on February 20th.
Die-hard fans of the original series might remember it was canceled in the middle of its third season. It was pulled from NBC’s schedule, with an announcement the remaining episodes would air at a later point. A massive letter-writing campaign famously brought it back.
It’s 2024 now, and engaging with NBC on social media is one way to let them know you want to see a Season 3, but an old-fashioned letter writing campaign might make TV history once again.

If letter-writing isn’t your thing, or you’re strapped for time, I had ChatGPT write a form letter to help get you started. We live in the future.

However, Quantum Leap has demonstrated its immense value through robust viewer ratings, active social media engagement, and positive critical reviews. The fanbase, of which I am a proud member, is eagerly awaiting the continuation of the adventures through time, and a third season presents an exciting opportunity to delve deeper into the series' rich narrative.
