ON DVD AND BLU-RAY™

BEVERLY HILLS, CA – Anchor Bay
Entertainment is proud to announce the release of
the first season of NBC’s hit drama, “
Aquarius”
on DVD and Blu-ray™ September 15, 2015. In his
celebrated return to network television,
David
Duchovny ("Californication," "The X-Files")
leads the talented cast of
Emma Dumont ("Salvation,"
"Bunheads"),
Grey Damon ("True
Blood," "Friday Night Lights"),
Gethin
Anthony (“Game of Thrones”) and
Claire

Los Angeles, 1967. Welcome to the Summer of Love.
Aquarius stars David
Duchovny as Sam Hodiak, a seasoned homicide
detective whose investigations dovetail with the
activities of real-life cult leader Charles Manson
in the years before he masterminded the most
notorious killings of a generation, the Tate-LaBianca
murders. A small-time but charismatic leader with
big plans, Manson has begun to build up his
"family", recruiting vulnerable young men and women
to join his cause. Teaming up with a young cop who
will help him infiltrate Manson's circle, Hodiak is
forced to see things through the questioning eyes of
someone who came of age amongst the current
anti-establishment counterculture. Edgy, addictive
and visually stunning, the Age of
Aquarius is here.
Hailed by the
Philadelphia Inquirer as
“gripping, disturbing, and rewarding,” “
Aquarius”
is a sprawling work of historical fiction that
begins two years before the 1969 Tate-LaBianca
murders. It's a shocking thriller, a nuanced
character drama and, in the end, the story of how we
became who we are today.
Writer John McNamara ("In Plain Sight") serves as
executive producer with Marty Adelstein ("Prison
Break"), David Duchovny, Becky Clements and Melanie
Greene. "
Aquarius" is a
production of Tomorrow Studios, a partnership
between Marty Adelstein and ITV Studios. It is
distributed internationally by ITV Studios Global
Entertainment.
DVD and Blu-ray™ bonus features include Webisodes
and a “First Look:
Aquarius”
feature. All episodes will also be exclusive
extended versions.
NBC recently picked up “
Aquarius”
for a second season.
