Bates Motel Season 5: House of Cards Actress Cast as Norma's Doppelganger 

viewers will be seeing double when A&E’s

thriller returns with its fifth and final season next year.

TVLine has learned exclusively that Isabelle McNally (

) is set to recur as Madeleine Loomis, a warm and kindhearted woman who bears a striking resemblance to a young Norma Bates (Vera Farmiga). It’s not clear how exactly Madeleine will figure into Season 5, but her last name suggests she will somehow be connected to the arrival of Rihanna’s Marion Crane. In the original film, Marion’s boyfriend was named Sam Loomis. And, as we reported,

My guess: Madeleine is Sam’s wife and Marion unwittingly becomes the Other Woman.

As exec producer Carlton Cuse previously teased to TVLine, “We wanted the final season to allow us to do our [spin] of the 

 lore. We will be colliding with certain events in the narrative of the film, but it would be boring to just recreate 

How do you suspect Madeleine will figure into Season 5? Deposit your theories in the comments!

With the name Madeline maybe “Bates Motel” will do homage to another Hitchcock classic, “Vertigo”.

Good casting news. Looking forward to see how she does in the finale season of the show.

I will never understand how the Emmys have completely ignored this show. Best cast and writing on television.
