Scott Bakula has revealed that an issue over ownership rights is likely holding up a relaunch of sci-fi TV series Quantum Leap.

The Emmy-nominated actor played Dr Sam Beckett on the NBC show from 1989 to 1993. He recently told Moviehole that a rumoured reboot of Quantum Leap is not happening any time soon.

"There's a big, long, complicated paper trail in terms of ownership - it was bought by different studios; Barry Diller bought it… that's the world of Universal Television. And if Universal TV gets bought, it'll get even more complicated," he said.

The 55-year-old will next be seen in TNT drama Men of a Certain Age, premiering December 7.
