Bates Motel Season 5 to Introduce Psycho ikon Marion kren 

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the shower…

, which in Monday’s Season 4 climax teed up a truly

final season by killing off matriarch Norma Bates, is planning to introduce the film’s most iconic victim, Marion Crane.

Bates Motel: [Spoiler]’s Death Sets Stage for Completely Psycho Season 5

In an interview with TVLine, exec producer Carlton Cuse teased, “We

hope to see Marion Crane next season,” before adding, “That will be a big moment.” Asked if the character — portrayed in the horror classic by Janet Leigh — will appear in multiple episodes, Cuse responded, “Yes.”

‘s fifth and final season will be full-tilt

, right down to the legendary shower scene that felled Marion. “We wanted the final season to allow us to do our version of the 

 lore,” Cuse explained in our Season 4 finale post mortem. “We will be colliding with certain events in the narrative of the film, but it would be boring to just recreate 

OK, slip on your Armchair Casting Director cap and proceed to the comments with an answer to this tantalizing question: Who should play

‘ Marion? We’ll get you started: Anna Camp!

This is so friggin awesome I can’t hardly stand it!!!

I agree!!! I sat at the edge of my seat the entire show!!! I LOVE IT!!!

Bates Motel is my absolute favorite TV show!!! I am so thrilled to hear that it’s coming back with another season! I was afraid that it was over after leading us up to the death of his mother and him finally going all the way over the edge!!! It’s brilliantly written. I also think Freddie Highmore is worthy of an award for his portrayal of Norman Bates.

I am heart broken over Bates Motel ending next season! Truly I thought this was the finale episode tonight since Alex went to jail, Dylan moved away, Norma’s dead & who knows what Normand will do. Please don’t make next season the last! Besides who will save Normand since Mother isn’t around? Bates is my FAVORITE tv show so how will I be able to wait until March, 2017?????

Margie, you really don’t know the source material, do you? There is no “saving Norman” (saving him from WHAT, exactly? Himself?)

Oh, and Bates Motel was always meant to be 5 seasons. The creators have said so multiple times since season 1.

how can the creators stop when they have such a hit???? any chance of reconsideration ? come on .

Hold up… multiple episodes? Are they re-writing the movie? In the move she was killed the first night she stayed at the motel.

Not every episode takes place on a different day and multiple episodes could always mean at the end of the episode they show her pulling into the hotel and being greeted hospitably right before the credits roll. I think only like a year and a half has passed on the show.

“Slip on your Armchair Casting Director cap and proceed to the comments with an answer to this tantalizing question: Who should play Bates‘ Marion?”

At this point I don’t care who it is as long as they can actually act. Just my opinion (=

Jamie Lee Curtis’ daughter Annie Guest since Janet Lee was in the original Marion Crane in the movie.

I think I should tbh. I am in love sigh Psycho and have the perfect scream. I have been practicing.

Final season? Noo! Already? Norman’s not even grown yet.

ya if I remember right there was another movie where norman was grown and had married the nurse and she got pregnant but norman freaked out cause he didn’t want kids.then he started talking to the person on the radio remember ? so how can season 5 be the last? please this is truly one of the best shows on tv. vera and Freddie are the ultimate. I know they have more ideas for more seasons. maybe if enough of us throw a fit they will reconsider huh ?

I love Bates Motel. I cannot believe it will end after season 5. Freddy Highmore and Vera Farmiga both do a PHENOMENAL JOB in their depiction of Norman and Norma. They are both truly spectacular actors.

It would be awesome because of the fact Norman would become infatuated with someone that looks like Norma. And since it’s Vera’s little sister in real life who has played younger versions of Vera it’s a safe bet that if you cast Taissa the resemblence would be undeniable.

Oooh, I like this suggestion. Great idea.

Oh, man. As sad as it is to be talking about next season being the final one of this show, I’m very intrigued by this news. I can’t wait to see how this show will handle that part of the story.

see that’s what I mean….. theres always more to have more seasons plus what happens to alex ? whats norman going to do with versa body and when does Dillon find out ? a lot of characters that could make for a lot of seasons .

I swear this gets better every time it comes on !!!!!!

I’m glad it’s back too. I’m so very sad n mad that Norma is gone already! :( I knew it would happen but, I figured in season 5! It’s not even the same for me now. I think Vera Farmiga is worthy of an emmy for her portrayal of Norma! I’ve been hollaring at the tv all nite about this ending though! Maybe there’s a support group for people like me-“2sad Norma’s Gone Group”, or something lol. Ugh!

count me in too. I think I have a girl crush on vera lol !!!

I love this show so much. I’m really excited that the final season will incorporate Marion Crane. Five seasons of high quality is perfect. I can’t wait to see who they cast as Marion. Anna Camp would be great, but I also like the idea of Taissa Farmiga.

Is it really necessary to unveil the big spoiler in the paragraph that shows up under the headline on the main page? I avoid clicking into the recap pages for that reason, and yet this keeps happening
