BATES MOTEL Greenlit for Two More Seasons!
I’m happy to report that A&E has officially greenlit Bates Motel for two more seasons, and that they will finish out the full story they set out to tell.
Rob Sharenow, Executive Vice President and General Manager, A&E and Lifetime said this in a statement:
“The vision of our incredible creative team has exposed the steady breakdown of the relationship between Norman and Norma Bates. We are thrilled to bring fans two more seasons to witness the next stages of Norman's transformation into the most notorious psychopath in cinematic history.”
The upcoming episodes of Bates Motel will begin production later this year and will air over the course of two seasons, starting next year. Vera Farmiga (Up In The Air, The Conjuring) and Freddie Highmore (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) will be back to star alongside Max Thieriot (Disconnect), Olivia Cooke (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl), and Nestor Carbonell (The Dark Knight Rises).
“Bates Motel” serves as a contemporary prequel to the genre-defining film Psycho and provides viewers with an intimate portrayal of how Norman Bates unravels through his teenage years.
Bates Motel has become one of my favorite TV series to watch, and it’s so cool that we will be getting two more seasons. I’m looking forward to seeing how they wrap all of this up.
