As the poster suggests, our Norman Bates is becoming more and more like the Norman Bates of the Hitchcock classic Psycho — the one who famously stuffed his dead mother. Norma worries about her youngest son in season three and what really happened in the murder of Blair Watson, ultimately coming to rely on her eldest son Dylan (Max Thieriot) and triggering Norman’s jealousy. Only on Bates Motel would there be a love triangle between a mother and her two sons.

To complicate an already complicated family dynamic, Norma’s brother and Dylan’s father Caleb (Kenny Johnson) returns.
And what’s going on with Norma and Sheriff Romero (Nestor Carbonell), who’s been living at the Bates Motel? Does he suspect Norman? Emma (Olivia Cooke) is back too, as is Bradley (Nicola Peltz) last seen faking her own death and leaving White Pine Bay (to co-star in the latest Transformers box office smash).
What state does the take place?
White Pine Bay, Oregon. Filmed in greater Vancouver.
