Bates Motel producer teases Psycho shower scene for Rihanna’s Marion Crane

February 10, 2017 by Amie Cranswick

With just over a week to go until the fifth and final season of Bates Motel gets underway, Entertainment Weekly has released another look at Rihanna’s Marion Crane in the Psycho prequel series; take a look below…

Executive producer Kerry Ehrin also revealed a little bit more information on the character: “Is there a shower scene? All I can tell you is that we pulled Psycho into Bates Motel, not vice-versa. That was always the goal and the fun of it. You will have to watch and find out!”

“Let me just preface by saying it’s one of my favorite films,” Ehrin continues. “But Marion is a woman written in the ’50s by a guy. It was very  much our goal to show you what’s going on in her head to give her more complexity… Two different versions of the same story collide in a really explosive way.”

This contemporary prequel to the genre-defining film Psycho has provided fans with an intimate look into the unraveling of Norman Bates’ psyche throughout his teenage years. Fans watched as Norman’s dangerous transformation came full circle when he methodically murdered his beloved mother, Norma, in the final gut-wrenching episodes of season four. Season five of “Bates Motel” picks up almost two years later and finds Norman (Freddie Highmore), a grown man now, living a double life. Publicly he’s a happy and well-adjusted member of the White Pine Bay community, but at home Norman struggles; his violent blackouts continue to increase as ‘Mother’ (Vera Farmiga) threatens to take over his mind completely. Meanwhile, Dylan Massett (Max Thierot) and Emma Decody (Olivia Cooke), since leaving White Pine Bay, have been living their lives blissfully unaware of Norma’s death and Norman’s full on descent into psychosis. Unfortunately, for them, they will soon find themselves drawn back into Norman’s insanity, while a vengeful Alex Romero (Nestor Carbonell), who is currently incarcerated for a perjury, hungers for a chance to destroy his stepson and avenge the murder of his one true love, Norma Bates.

Season five of Bates Motel will get underway on February 20th on A&E.
