After filming three episodes, newQuantum Leapseries developers Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt stepped down as showrunners.
Martin Gero and Dean Georgaris then took over and have stayed with the series since.
Gero freely admits that the initial direction of season one being out of their hands was difficult.
The mythology of the show or how the mythology was going to work was not our choice.
(We wanted to) focus more on character stuff.
It helped the show take on a whole new and improved life.
The talent of the cast and characters back at the project motivated this change, recalls Gero.
Those present day stories (in season 1)?
All the cast was doing was exposition.
The first season of a TV show is such a unique situation.
Youre learning so much, youre learning about what the show physically can do.
Im sure (the original showrunners) would have made the same or same-ish corrections.
New episodes of Quantum Leap season 2 premiere Wednesdays at 8 p.m.
