Ernie Hudson to Co-Star with Raymond Lee in Quantum Leap Reboot

Ernie Hudson has joined the cast of NBC's Quantum Leap reboot pilot, appearing in a starring role alongside Raymond Lee. Per Deadline, the pilot acknowledges the original Quantum Leap but is set 30 years since Scott Bakula's Dr. Sam Beckett vanished after stepping into the Quantum Leap accelerator. There's no indication at this time that Bakula will be involved in the pilot, but the door is open for his character to appear at some point if the show is ordered to series.
