AQUARIUS: NBC to Make All of Season 1 Available Post-Pilot Airing

NBC is making a big move in the way shows are released: the new David Duchovny-led, Charles Mason-origin drama, AQUARIUS, will have its entire 13-episode first season released online and via video on demand after the show’s two-hour premiere airs on NBC on May 28th.

“With ‘Aquarius’ we have the opportunity to push some new boundaries to give our audience something no broadcast network has done before,” NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt said in a statement. “We are fully aware how audiences want to consume multiple episodes of new television series faster and at their own discretion, and we’re excited to offer our viewers this same experience since all 13 episodes of this unique show have been produced and are ready to be seen. I appreciate the enthusiasm we’ve gotten from the producers of the show and our partner Marty Adelstein of Tomorrow Studios to launch this series in a new, forward-thinking way.”

The entire series will be available for four weeks post-pilot premiere via the streaming and VOD platforms. AQUARIUS will continue to air Thursdays at 9 PM on NBC in the meantime.
