Season one of Mercury Rising: The Series first began airing on February 26, 1999 on the USA Network with the pilot episode, Simon is NOT Home. It concluded on July 2, 1999 after the airing of the sixteenth episode, A Big Puzzle, Part 1. The main story arc of the season follows Art Jeffries and Simon Lynch's continuing story, beginning seven months after the movie, through the late winter and spring of 1999 as they battle against the overconfident Colonel Robert Donaldson of the NSA's black-ops Zero Section department, and even Simon's older brother, Peter, somewhat crazed since running from home in August 1992.
