'Bates Motel's first season has come to a close with tonight's finale episode "Midnight," and never has it been more apparent that Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) has a dark future in front of him. The series won't return until 2014, but what can we expect from Norman's dark turn at the climax of tonight's finale? What major story arcs will dominate season 2? Get the inside scoop on futu

A&E already scored a major success in the original scripted series market with their adapted drama 'Longmire,' let alone the recent success and season 2 renewal of 'Psycho' prequel series 'Bates Motel.' Now, the cable network is doubling down on its original programming pickup with a series order for 'Those Who Kill,' a Danish-adapted murder drama starring 'American Horror Story: Asylum' playe

That Norman Bates may just turn out to be a killer yet. After airing three episodes of its 10-episode inaugural season, A&E has given an early check-in to 'Bates Motel,' renewing its new horror drama from 'LOST' showrunner Carlton Cuse for season 2. The new drama has proved consistently creepy in its portrayal of a young Norman Bates, but will season 2 move the character any closer to his 'Psy

Last night's 'Bates Motel' premiere earned rave reviews across the board, jump-starting the new franchise to explore a young Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) and his relationship with his mother Norma (Vera Farmiga), but did you know it wasn't the first attempt to capitalize on a 'Psycho' TV series? NBC first tried with a 1987 'Bates Motel' pilot that featured Bud Cort and a younger Jason Bateman (

We're still waiting on a full trailer from A&E's forthcoming 'Psycho' prequel TV series 'Bates Motel,' considering the massive mystique and buzz the project has going for it. Developed by 'LOST' showrunner Carlton Cuse, the show chronicles the early days of famed 'Psycho' killer Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) examined in a modern context, but is his relationship with mother Norma (Vera Farmig

Even though we've yet to see a real trailer, and have to wait all the way until March 18 for the official premiere, every subsequent piece of A&E's forthcoming 'Psycho' prequel TV series 'Bates Motel' has us more and more addictively unnerved. Last week we saw some creepy new promos, and got a scoop on the series straight from the cast and crew at the TCA press tour, but are you ready for the

Alongside all the other hotly anticipated premieres and returns of early 2013, we still can't wait to get our hands around A&E's forthcoming 'Psycho' prequel TV series 'Bates Motel.' Recent comments from showrunner Carlton Cuse at the TCA press tour painted 'Psycho' as more inspiration than canon, but the recent 'Bates Motel' previews have teased a creepiness like no other. That unsettling ter

With the Television Critics Association press tours ongoing, earlier today we were treated to the reveal that A&E would in fact premiere its upcoming 'Psycho' prequel TV series 'Bates Motel' on March 18. The series has a considerable amount of buzz going for it, particularly with former 'LOST' show-runner Carlton Cuse at the helm, but Cuse spoke out today that the 'Bates Motel' story in its mo

Certainly one of the more intriguing new series we've been keeping an eye on is that of A&E's forthcoming 'Psycho' prequel TV series 'Bates Motel,' re-imagined for the modern day with Freddie Highmore and Vera Farmiga as Norman Bates and his mother Norma, respectively. Previously the network has announced that the series would make its debut in March 2013, but how would you like to find out th

Many were skeptical at the idea of bringing a young Norman Bates to the small-screen for 'Psycho' prequel 'Bates Motel,' but the more we see of the A&E series, the more it seems tantalizingly dark. We've seen a number of photos from the pilot, and some seriously disturbing teasers, but nothing quite gets the blood pumping like the first official trailer of 'Bates Motel!' Learn what made Norman

Fans of reality TV often walk a strange tightrope, accepting in the back of their minds that the events being presented are somewhat staged, or even edited to appear more dramatic than they really are. That line isn't often called into question, but 'Storage Wars' star Dave Hester is fighting back against A&E for his recent dismissal, the cause of which was apparently complaints to the show's

We're definitely keeping an intrigued eye on A&E's forthcoming 'Psycho' prequel series 'Bates Motel,' which takes a prequel approach to examining a young Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore), albeit one taking place in our modern day. The first pictures released from the series, set to debut in 2013, were suitably creepy, but they're nothing compared to the dark and ominous first teasers from 'Bate
