Renewed: Aquarius

New US drama Aquarius, starring David Duchovny as a 1960s cop pursuing Charles Manson, has been renewed for a second season.

NBC put all 12 episodes online following its series premiere, making it the most watched first 24 hours for a summer series premiere ever on NBC.com.

Over 28 days, it has become the second-most-viewed drama premiere ever on NBC.com and its app, beaten only by The Blacklist.

NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke said, “With its riveting drama and innovative release strategy, Aquarius has excited the critics, hooked millions of viewers and energizsd our summer. 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.”

In Australia the series is currently viewable as a Presto exclusive, but also due to air on Seven later this year.
