– Quantum Leap to have a 13-episode second season
– MacGyver not returning after five seasons
– Magnum P.I. renewed for fourth season with reduced episode count
NBC‘s sci-fi drama, Quantum Leap, is set to return for a second season consisting of 13 episodes. Although the first season of the time-traveling series had garnered mixed reviews, this decision by the network to renew the show demonstrates their confidence in the show’s potential for improvement and growth.
Meanwhile, CBS has decided to cancel the popular action-adventure series MacGyver after five seasons. The cancellation announcement was met with disappointment from fans who have come to love the titular character and his resourcefulness. In a statement, Monica Macer, MacGyver’s showrunner, said, “While we are all sad that the series will come to an end, I cannot express how proud I am of our incredible cast and crew for their tireless dedication to making our show the powerful, inspiring fan-favorite that it is.”
On a positive note, CBS has renewed the action-drama series Magnum P.I. for a fourth season, albeit with a reduced episode count. The number of episodes for the new season has not been specified yet, but fans can still look forward to more adventures from their favorite private investigator.
