Premiering May 28 on NBC, the freshman series Aquarius centers on Sam Hodiak (David Duchovny), a homicide detective who’s searching for the missing daughter (Emma Dumont) of an ex-girlfriend in 1967 Los Angeles. A mixture of hardboiled, sunshine noir and historical fiction, Aquarius also stars Gethin Anthony as Charles Manson.
Along with the anticipated premiere of Aquarius, Duchovny is also returning to The X-Files universe with Gillian Anderson and producer/writer Chris Carter. The trio’s last collaboration was the 2008 feature The X-Files: I Want To Believe.
“I’m happy to be going back. We’re going to do six episodes of The X-Files in June. It’ll be interesting to see what we got, you know? It’ll be interesting to see who we are now and what stories we’re going to tell. I don’t know anything more about it than that – just that I’m excited to work with Gillian and Chris again.“
On Tuesday May 5th, David Duchovny will take the stage at the World Famous 96.5 TIC Acoustic Cafe at the Infinity Music Hall and Bistro in Hartford. From his iconic acting roles on The X Files, Californication and many more television series and movies, to the debut of his first solo album Hell Or Highwater, Duchovny has made a name for himself time and again in the world of pop culture.
In the 13-episode series, Duchovny plays a Los Angeles police sergeant with a complicated home life who takes note of small-time criminal Manson when he begins recruiting needy women to what becomes his cult. As history records, these members of Manson’s “family” eventually commit various ghastly crimes, including the murders of actress Sharon Tate and supermarket owner Leno LaBianca.

NBC’s new Aquarius, about a cop working in Los Angeles at the time of the rise of cult leader Charles Manson, originally was envisioned as a novel series, creator John McNamara said this afternoon. Until Marty Adelstein told him it was a terrible idea, because in a novel you can’t hear the music and music was one of the main characters. “That was 2008 and we’ve been developing it ever since,” McNamara said.%2B(1).jpg)
“We always wanted to keep it going,” Duchovny told Variety on Thursday at NBC’s Summer Press Day in Pasadena, Calif., where he was on site to promote his upcoming drama “Aquarius,” which premieres May 28. “We always envisioned a movie franchise when we stopped the TV show, and we did two — the second one did well, but I guess not well enough to do a third, and we were all kind of disappointed that didn’t happen that way.”
