NEWS X MUSE Manny Gomez spoke with Raymond Lee, one of the stars of NBC’s sequel/revival of the classic science fiction drama “Quantum Leap”. This week, the series wraps up the second season with a two-hour season finale on February 20th at 9 P.M.
With the finale in mind, we spoke with Lee about what we can expect in the final two episodes of “Quantum Leap”. He also shares with us how it’s been to continue to play Ben Song and what it’s been like for him to be separated from most of the cast being that he is always in a different time. It’s a great conversation that you can check out above!
Here are the descriptions for the two final episodes of “Quantum Leap” provided by NBC:
212 “As the World Burns” (air date: 2/20 at 9 p.m.)

213 “Against Time” (air date: 2/20 at 10 p.m.)

Here is the description for the “Quantum Leap”
It’s been nearly 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Now, a new team, led by physicist Ben Song (Raymond Lee), has been assembled to restart the project in the hope of understanding the mysteries behind the machine and the man who created it.
Everything changes, however, when Ben makes an unauthorized leap into the past, leaving the team behind to solve the mystery of why he did it. At Ben’s side throughout his leaps is Addison (Caitlin Bassett), who appears in the form of a hologram only Ben can see and hear. She’s a decorated Army veteran who brings level-headed precision to her job.
At the helm of the highly confidential operation is Herbert “Magic” Williams (Ernie Hudson), a no-nonsense career military man who has to answer to his bosses who won’t be happy once they learn about the breach of protocol. The rest of the team at headquarters includes Ian Wright (Mason Alexander Park), who runs the Artificial Intelligence unit “Ziggy,” and Jenn Chu (Nanrisa Lee), who heads up digital security for the project.
As Ben leaps from life to life, putting right what once went wrong, it becomes clear that he and the team are on a thrilling journey. However, Addison, Magic, Ian and Jenn know that if they are going to solve the mystery of Ben’s leaps and bring him home, they must act fast or lose him forever.
