Oh, boy. Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell are getting together again.

The two stars of the classic time-travel series “Quantum Leap” will be reunited in an upcoming episode of Bakula’s latest vehicle, the crime procedural “NCIS: New Orleans.”

The news was first reported on EW.com. A CBS representative later confirmed the news.

Stockwell will play a retired cop who gets ensnared in a 40-year-old murder case in the “NCIS” episode.

From 1989 to 1993, Bakula and Stockwell rose to cult icons in the seriocomic “Quantum Leap,” with Bakula as a physicist who gets lost in a time-travel experiment and pops up in numerous adventures. Stockwell played Al, the best friend who appeared only as a hologram (don’t ask).

“We found an opportunity for the tremendously talented Dean Stockwell to reunite on-screen with Scott Bakula,” executive producer Gary Glasman told EW. “What a treat for November sweeps. We are thrilled to have him join us for some Thanksgiving fun and intrigue in NOLA.”

What did you think of “Quantum Leap”? How about this reteaming?
