Although the sneak peek will not be posted online before the start of the new season on Wednesday, October 4, some details can be shared about what the audience saw in the room.
Please note: spoilers for season two follow below.
The footage confirms that Raymond Lee's Ben didn't actually jump home in the season one finale, as suspected. Instead, he's on a plane flying over Russia in 1978. He's in the body of a man named Perez, with Roxburgh, Arnaud, Abrams, and Byrne. They are all in the middle of a mission to transport a mysterious box to New Delhi.
Ben is cut off from Quantum Leap HQ, so he has no option but to continue on his own. While he is orienting himself, the plane is shot down. It's not clear what's in the box, but whatever it is, the crew seems to be willing to do anything to keep it safe.
While examining the wreckage of the crash, they learn that the rest of the plane is about to explode. But Roxburgh's character is determined to get the box out - and risks her life to do so. They get out just in time to prevent the explosion. End scene.
Quantum Leap (2022) premiered last year to an eager audience. The reboot of the popular 1990s sci-fi series was a success for NBC and was renewed halfway through its first season.
The first season's storyline: "It's been thirty years since Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and disappeared. Now a new team has been assembled to restart the project in hopes of understanding the mysteries behind the machine and the man who made it."
In addition to Lee, Ernie Hudson, Caitlin Bassett, Mason Alexander Park and Nanrisa Lee star in Quantum Leap (2022).
Martin Gero serves as executive producer along with Dean Georgaris, Don Bellisario, Deborah Pratt, Chris Grismer, Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt.
