NBC is trying an interesting experiment with Aquarius by releasing most of the season’s episodes online before they air on television. Have they given up on the traditional ratings? Will it be renewed for a second season or will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned.
Set in 1967 Los Angeles, Aquarius, revolves around the generational conflict between an experienced homicide detective (David Duchovny) and an idealistic undercover vice cop (Grey Damon). The rest of the cast includes Gethin Anthony, Emma Dumont, Claire Holt, and Chance Kelly.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
6/25 update: NBC has renewed Aquarius for a second season. Details here.
Final season averages: 0.53 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.79 million total viewers.

Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Aquarius TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Good show. Please renew. I agree that it did get better & better.
Excellent show with great actors! Please renew for a second season!
Love this sho
Hey, NBC! Aquarius needs a second season! Did everyone notice that it got better and better with each episode once they found their groove? Can you imagine how good next season is going to be? And I’ve noticed that people are really attached to the characters. I want to know what happens next!
Please renew this show, id like to see manson captured and all of the events that ensue, including the tate/labeanca murders. Good acting, and its a very interesting time period.
David Duchovny is great in Aquarius. Hope the series gets renewed. I will be extremely disappointed if the series is not renewed. Interesting cliff-hanger!
eod love to see a second season.
Hope there is no season two. Could not stand to see Charmaine in the hands of those people next season and what they would make her do. Also the scene where Manson hits his mother, gives her LSD and turns his gang in on her is way too disturbing. Too much destruction of innocence by really evil people for me.
Clayton Rhodes – you hope there is no season 2? but you care enough about what is going to happen to Charmaine and feel enough for Manson’s mother to have concern, I’d say you like it and you don’t even know it – and THAT’S what makes good television.
PLEASE renew Aquarius for a second season. I have watched the entire season, and am rabidly waiting for new episodes. Great writing, intertwining plot-lines, acting, and a genuine feel for the sixties make this a must see. David Duchovny, Grey Damon, and Claire Holt are outstanding in their roles! Five stars from me!!!
Please renew Aquarius! It’s a great show!!!
Here’s hoping that if enough of us write into this site (TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS), we can help ensure that AQUARIUS GETS RENEWED!
I love Aquarius! I was very upset the following got canceled and love this show. Hope it gets a lot of seasons.
Excellent series! Mesmerizing and one of those shows that one just can’t stop watching. Here’s hoping it gets renewed so we can follow the events to their conclusion.
Thank you MaryAnn! It’s nice to see somebody who enjoyed it as much as I did. Some of the people on this site seem to be “professionals” about what makes good TV and that MY own gut shouldn’t be trusted. I think I’ll stick to what I feel entertains me and not be swayed by naysayers! Have a good evening and again – glad to have a person that enjoyed it as much as I did. Jayne.
I have been watching Aquarius. Think it is a really good series. Hoping it will be back for 2nd series. The acting and storyline are really great. I’m from that generation. ..my 24 year old granddaughter really like the show. Difference in ages. ..but like the show….just the same. Thanks and hope it gets renewed. PEACE
Vickie – I hope it gets renewed too!
Loving this series. Please renew for a second season.
Aquarius is just one more in a failed series of converted English shows about America starring English actors. Too bad that the “Law and Order All-Stars,” primarily Broadway theater trained actors, could save this series. The program could have had a shot, and the genius who scheduled Aquarius opposite the NBA finals should be made president of the network. For those of us who wish to view the series, and it was nice that NBC made all twelve episodes available on Video on Demand until July 2nd. Rest in peace, Vincent Bugliosi.
You didn’t exactly make sense there.
I’ve enjoyed the series very much. I didn’t binge watch but watched one ep per night on On Demand. Still tune in anyway when it airs
HUH? Aquarius wasn’t canceled yet.
NO – it wasn’t cancelled. If more people who enjoyed it will SPEAK UP, maybe we have a shot at a SECOND SEASON. It probably will not be available on demand again (as that part was not an advertising success); but they MUST give this show a second season. Too many of us are vested in these characters.
It did very well on On Demand i posted a thread about it but i’ll post it here too.

Thank you ANONYMOUS for the ratings info. Almost everybody I know (which is a lot of people) watched & loved Aquarius. Does NBC respond, AT ALL, to a site like this; to determine if we get a season 2 or not?
I’m pretty sure that they would take that into consideration
To Anonymous – we can only hope. I’ve told some of my friends who also LOVE this series, to write in to this site and let them know. Please do the same; perhaps we’ll have a part in getting a second season.
I also told all my friends to watch the series and most of them have been enjoying it very much
