NBC is going to stream all 13 episodes of the upcoming David Duchovny series “Aquarius” following the season premiere on May 28.

The Charles Manson murder drama will be available to binge-view on NBC.com and the NBC app after the show’s two-hour linear network premiere, the network announced Wednesday. The entire series will also be offered to all other video-on-demand platforms for release at that time as well.

“With ‘Aquarius’ we have the opportunity to push some new boundaries to give our audience something no broadcast network has done before,” NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt said. “We are fully aware how audiences want to consume multiple episodes of new television series faster and at their own discretion, and we’re excited to offer our viewers this same experience since all 13 episodes of this unique show have been produced and are ready to be seen. I appreciate the enthusiasm we’ve gotten from the producers of the show and our partner Marty Adelstein of Tomorrow Studios to launch this series in a new, forward-thinking way.”

According to the statement, one for the key aspects of the arrangement is that the show will be available to only a handful of certain advertising partners so the linear broadcast on NBC will mirror the commercial load on the VOD platforms, resulting in limited interruption both on-air and off.

The full 13 episodes will remain up on the various digital platforms for a four-week period, while each new one-hour episode will continue to premiere, as planned, each week in the 9 p.m. Thursday timeslot on NBC.

“Aquarius” follows a police detective chasing serial killer Charles Manson during the 1960s in the period before the infamous Sharon Tate murders. Duchovny stars as LAPD Sgt. Sam Hodiak and “Game of Thrones'” Gethin Anthony as Manson.

Writer John McNamara (“In Plain Sight,” “Profit”) will executive produce with Duchovny, Marty Adelstein (“Prison Break,” “Last Man Standing”) and Melanie Greene.

“Aquarius” will air Thursdays at 9 p.m. on NBC following the premiere on May 28.

The Scene at TCAs: Notable Quotables at Winter Tour (Photos)

Method Man, who plays rap star Phantasm on FX's new series "Chozen," on whether the hip-hop community will be offended by the show:
"Absolutely and that makes me want to do it even more! Because it IS making fun. It’s making fun of hip hop, it’s making fun of gay people, it’s making fun of just the audacity of some of the ... artists that think they’re just above the law and above the world on these pedestals and nothing can touch them.
"Why not? You gotta knock people off their horse every now and then, you know?"
"Klondike" star Sam Shepard on why he signed on for the gig: "Yeah, I was out of work. The landlord was going to throw me out."
Heather Graham, who stars in Lifetime's "Flowers in the Attic," says she's never read the V.C. Andrews book on which the film is based, but "one of my best friends is obsessed with the book, and she was quoting me all my lines."
"It's just a powerfully disturbing story. TV seems to be taking more risks. You know, what used to be the independent films, it seems that a lot of those kind of really creative projects are coming to TV."
Season 2 of Lifetime's "Devious Maids" promises even more scintillating scandal - and Eva Longoria, who executive produces the series, will be making her TV directorial debut on the show.
Quite possibly the exact moment where TheWrap's own Tim Molloy dared ask the perfectly valid question that would become the scandal of TCA 2014: What's with all the nudity on "Girls"?
The NatGeo "Engage Your Brain" panel engages the audience with some actual (kind of dangerous) brain teasers.
Chris Hardwick, host of Comedy Central's "@midnight," does a little song and dance to get the folks interested in watching his show... and calls out BuzzFeed writer Kate Aurthur over and over again for no discernible reason.
"The Daily Show" alum John Oliver teases his as-yet unnamed new HBO show with a sit-down standup routine. On Sarah Palin: "She's going to do to sports what she did to politics!"
Speaking of Palin, her shoes were AMAZING. Palin told TheWrap they were a recommendation from her niece.
Palin's hair on the other hand... not quite as amazing.
Katie Stevens and Rita Volk from MTV's "Faking It"
How is this high school different than Katie's experience? "I didn't pretend I was a lesbian in high school."
Amy Poehler, executive producer of Comedy Central's "Broad City"
"I just have a series of doubles that attend various functions. I may or may not be Amy Poehler sitting here in front of you."
The cast of NatGeo's "Wicked Tuna" were as raw as you'd expect a bunch of fishermen to be:
“The truth is, you couldn’t catch the clap in a whorehouse with a fist full of $50s!”
