The series starring Raymond Lee wrapped its sophomore season in February and ranked as one of the broadcast network’s lowest-rated scripted originals.

Quantum Leap, which was produced in-house at Universal Television, earned a speedy season two renewal as NBC kept production going in a bid to have scripted originals during the writers and actors strikes.

The follow-up to the original series hailed from Martin Gero and Dean Georgaris, who exec-produced alongside Deborah Pratt, Chris Grismer and Alex Berger. Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt developed the series and served as showrunners on the update.

Quantum Leap is the first NBC cancellation of the season and comes after the network previously renewed five of its six Dick Wolf shows. NBC also handed out early renewals for rookie dramas Found and The Irrational, both of which were developed during the 2022 pilot season and were able to air during the strikes.

The cancellation arrives as NBC previously ended La Brea and Magnum P.I. after three and six seasons, respectively, earlier this year and as the network has drama Dr. Wolf already on deck for next season. The network still has a decision to make on bubble drama Law & Order: Organized Crime.

On the comedy front, NBC has already ordered St. Denis Medical for next season and has Lopez vs. Lopez, Night Court and rookie Extended Family still on the bubble as well as a couple of half-hour pilots in contention.
