The new series picks up 30 years after Bakula's Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the quantum leap accelerator and vanished -- so his character is very much a part of the reboot (via toofab)
"In January, the pilot was sold and a script was sent to me because the character of Sam Beckett was in it, which makes sense, right?" he wrote alongside a still of him and the late Dean Stockwell from the original series.
He went on to note that fans had been asking him how the show could happen without Sam or Stockwell's Al ."Well, I guess we're about to find out," he wrote. Without offering any specific details, Bakula wrote,"As the show has always been near and dear to my heart, it was a very difficult decision to pass on the project, a decision that has upset and confused so many fans of the original series."
While he passed on it himself, Bakula said that the concept of the show -- where a hero steps into lives past in an attempt to"put right what once went wrong" --"remains a very appealing concept and so worthy of exploration, especially given the current state of mankind." He went on to say that he's crossing his fingers that the new show can"tap into the magic that propelled the original 'Quantum Leap' into the hearts and minds of generations past and present."
