“With its riveting drama and innovative release strategy, ‘Aquarius’ has excited the critics, hooked millions of viewers and energized our summer,” said Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment, in a statement. “It’s no secret that the way people watch television is evolving, so we took a unique approach to how we delivered ‘Aquarius’ and it’s driven some record numbers for NBC Digital and helped us reach viewers who might have otherwise overlooked a great summer drama.”

AQUARIUS is currently airing Thursdays at 9 PM on NBC, and also was part of an unusual experiment by the network: after the two-hour premiere event aired, NBC made the entire first season available online and on VOD.
