NBC announces summer schedule for four series

CBS and Netflix were the first to publish their summer schedule. But now NBC has announced the summer schedule for the tenth season of ‘America's Got Talent’, the seventh season of ‘American Ninja Warrior’, the third season of ‘Hannibal’ and the new series ‘Aquarius’.

Below the details:
‘American Ninja Warrior’ will return on Monday 25 May. The action-packed series will return for a seventh season with more challenging obstacle courses. The participants from all over America will go to the grand final in Las Vegas where they have to do a stunning four-stage course modelled after the famous Mt. Midoriyama in Japan. Matt Iseman will be host this season, along with former NFL player Akbar Gbaja Biamila.

‘America's Got Talent’, the most-watched summer series of the last nine years, will return on Tuesday 26 May with the tenth anniversary season. Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Mel B will return as jury and Nick Cannon will return as host.

‘Aquarius’ the new police drama series will premiere on Thursday 4 June. It’s 1967 and the era of free love, drug experimentation and Vietnam is in full effect. When Emma (Emma Dumont, ‘Salvation’), the teenage daughter of a respected lawyer, goes missing, LAPD Sgt. Sam Hodiak (David Duchovny, ‘Californication’, ‘The X-Files’) starts asking around. He soon discovers that the hippie kids he’s questioning don’t take kindly to cops, especially a cop with hair as short as his.
Needing the help of someone to trust, he partners with young undercover cop Brian Shafe (Grey Damon, ‘Friday Night Lights’), a law-abiding officer who struggles with his own demons. He also begins to rely on Charmain Tully (Claire Holt, ‘The Vampire Diaries’, ‘Pretty Little Liars’), an ambitious rookie cop who’s anxious to prove herself in a male-dominated profession.
It’s not long before they stumble upon a small-time cult leader seeking out vulnerable women to join his cause. From there, they follow this man’s trail down a rabbit hole of drugs, sex, murder and a cultural revolution. Little could they know, however, the guy they’re hunting will eventually become the killer we now recognize as Charles Manson (Gethin Anthony, ‘Game of Thrones’) – a lost soul who desperately wanted to get into the music scene of the ’60s until something snapped.
‘Aquarius’ will explore the cat-and-mouse game between Manson and the police in those turbulent years leading up to the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders.

The sequel of Hannibal will also start on Thursday 4 June. The dark and haunting series ‘Hannibal’ returns for a third season, revealing the fates of characters hanging in the balance, and their continuing psychological cat-and-mouse games.
After the shocking events of the season finale, Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen, ‘Casino Royale’) is on the run in Europe – accompanied by his psychiatrist Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson, ‘The X-Files’) – sporting a new identity, but servicing the same insatiable appetite. As the lives of Will (Hugh Dancy, ‘Daniel Deronda’), Jack (Laurence Fishburne, ‘CSI’) and Alana (Caroline Dhavernas, ‘Wonderfalls’) converge toward Hannibal again, their deadly dance turns in startling and unexpected ways, and nothing will ever be the same again.
