Quantum Leap season 2 spoilers: Will Scott Bakula appear?
We don’t think it is going to come across as stunning news to anyone out there that we would like to see Sam Beckett appear on this show — it is, after all, a pseudo-continuation of what we saw on the original series.
Yet, prior to the series premiere Bakula himself made it clear that he had passed on the project, though he wished everyone involved the best. We’ve certainly hoped over the past few months that he changed his mind, mostly because it is clear that the writers and cast here care a lot about the original show and aren’t out to cheaply exploit it in some way.
Of course if Bakula does appear, there is a chance that no one involved is going to want to tip their hand on the subject in advance. In speaking on this very subject to TV Insider, here is just some of what executive producer Martin Gero had to say:
I think we’re going to keep it as we did in Season 1. It’s kind of unknowable, and so I think it remains abstract.
You can interpret this in a lot of different ways, and that is probably the intention. We don’t think that Gero wants to get anyone’s hopes up, but they also have clearly not killed off Sam Beckett. He does remain out there somewhat and so long as that remains the case, the door is a tiny crack open.
Until we get some more news on the subject of a possible Sam return, though, we still have to consider this Ben’s story first and foremost. We’ll see what happens with him now that it’s clear he won’t be coming back at some point in the super-immediate future.
