'Bates Motel' Season 5 Cast Details and Release Date: Norma Talks to Norman Again; She Lives on as Norman Goes on Being Completely Mad
The last season of "Bates Motel" concluded with Norman (Freddie Highmore) killing his mother and is not aware of it. What he does believe is that he loves his mother so much and he does not want to let go.
Norma Talks To Norman
It can be remembered that Norman got Norma's (Vera Farmiga) dead body and brought it inside their house. He kept the dead body's eyes open because of being so upset that she will not look at him.
Norman will have the dead body talk to him throughout the show. He needs to deal with Norma's absence and move on. The random appearances of Norma would propel her son to kill other people. It also was a way for Norman to cope up with his difficult childhood.
"Bates Motel" Season 5 will have Norman deal with the loss. This will then lead him to become a complete psycho. Norma's death has made a great impact into Norman's life. Screenwriter Kerry Ehrin shared that Vera is the center of the show. Norman's obsession of her will drive him crazy and it has always been the drive of the show.
This upcoming season of the show is going to be the last. This explains why Norman spirals into madness as a preparation for the story to be connected to "Psycho."
Meanwhile, Season 5 will be filled with Norma. She will do the things that she usually does as Norman imagines it. The life of her is a fragment of Norman's mad imagination. The obsession is going to show as the story unfolds.
Norman's Road To Madness
It has already reported that Rihanna is to join the cast to play the role of Marion Crane. Her character is a big part in linking the show "Bates Motel" to the film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1960 titled "Psycho."
Season 5 is going to be a big one for the show. It gives Norman the mad imagination about her mother. He lives as if Norma is alive. He talks to her in her dreams and all the things in their house remind him of her. The love for his mother has become a poison for Norman.
As Norman gets on with his life without his mother, he gets into craziness. His mind would wander as if nothing has changed and that his mother is still present to support him. Also, the storyline will shift for "Bates Motel" Season 5.
Fans and followers can expect Norman's road to madness in "Bates Motel" Season 5 in March of 2017.
