RENEWAL ALERT: Aquarius

NBC has renewed its summer drama Aquarius for a second season. This might seem like a very surprising move if you just consider the raw numbers but it's been an experimental for NBC as they made the entire season available online immediately after the premiere. It's hard to know where the line is that causes these decisions but NBC must be getting enough online interest in Aquarius for it to continue. I wouldn't imagine this show will return before summer 2016. This came on the heels of the cancellation of the critically loved but terribly low-rated Hannibal after three seasons.
