NBC is going to try the binge watch model on for size.

On Wednesday the broadcast network announced plans to make all episodes of its upcoming David Duchovny-led series Aquarius available for binge viewing on NBC.com, the NBC app, and other video-on-demand platforms immediately following the network's two-hour series premiere on May 28.

To be clear: This is bold.

"With Aquarius we have the opportunity to push some new boundaries to give our audience something no broadcast network has done before," president Bob Greenblatt said in a statement. "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."

Aquarius, which is set two years before the 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders, chronicles the rise of famed killer Charles Manson as told through the eyes of a seasoned detective (Duchovny).

The episode dump comes with a caveat, however: The episodes will only be available for a four-week period — to encourage binge watching, it seems. Those who do not finish before that time — or those who prefer the week-to-week roll out — can continue watching the episodes on NBC, as they will air each Thursday as scheduled in its 9 p.m. timeslot.

According to NBC, the show was only made a available to a "handful of certain advertising partners so the linear broadcast on NBC will mirror the commercial load on the VOD platforms." Meaning, the advertisers bought time on both platforms to limit interruption on and off air, the network said.

It will be more than interesting to see how dipping its toes into this model pays off for NBC.

The binge model, of course, is one that was embraced first by Netflix, who saw what we assume is great success from it. (Netflix does not release streaming figures.) And fellow streaming network Amazon followed suit with their slate of originals.

This, however, is a first for broadcast, both in the release of the episodes and the fact that they will air on regular television as well.
