Norman and His PSYCHO Mother Are Back

This week’s Entertainment Weekly has the first images from A&E’s second season of their hit show Bates Motel. We also have a few clues to help you piece together what you can look forward to when the series returns in March.Bates Motel took everyone by surprise and became an overnight hit. We say “everyone by surprise” because no one really wanted, or for that matter, needed a back story for Ma Bates and son. So when the show was in development, many were doubters. Doubt no more cuz this show is on fire. Sure they totally messed up Norman Bates history but hey, good ratings, ya can’t beat’em.

The image shows Norman (Freddie Highmore), Norma (Vera Farmiga), and Dylan (Max Thieriot) at Miss Watson’s funeral. As you’d expect, Highmore is mum about his role in his teacher’s death: “Who knows who killed her?” he teases the mag.

He also puts the kibosh on any notions that “Bates Motel” will be dabbling in the supernatural and possibly resurrecting her: “The show hasn’t gone in that direction yet,” he says.

Joining Highmore, Farmiga, Thieriot, and other regulars Olivia Cooke, Nicola Peltz, and Nestor Carbonell in Season 2 are newcomers Kathleen Robertson, Rebecca Creskoff, Kenny Johnson, Paloma Kwiatkowski, and Michael Vartan.
