(L-R) Ernie Hudson as Herbert "Magic" Williams, Nanrisa Lee as Jenn, Mason Alexander Park as Ian, Caitlin Bassett as Addison in Quantum LeapĪttendees at the upfront event also had a chance to see how the classic special effects have been updated with a more modern look, while still staying true to the style fans have come to expect from the iconic sci-fi series.
