Last but not least, there are reports that the cast could be temporarily expanded with some guest appearances in the new episodes, leading fans to believe that we may see some extra killing from Norman soon.
It would certainly make sense, all things considered, and the show’s fans seem to enjoy the idea of seeing some serious killing in the next few episodes. On the other hand, there are conflicting rumors regarding which actors could be joining the cast, and fans have been speculating quite actively.
It’s definitely commendable how the producers have managed to handle the show after taking the original “Psycho” as an inspiration, and even though many viewers initially expected it to be a shallow copy of the original production, it turned out to have a lot of style and substance of its own, and currently manages to stand out.
The showrunners have done a fantastic job fleshing the show out over the course of its first four seasons as well, and now they have a chance to push things even further with season 5, solidifying the show’s position among the best on the screen at the moment. If even half of the current rumors about “Bates Motel” turn out to be true, we expect to see a very interesting set of new episodes coming up, and the show could gain a lot more popularity with audiences at a rapid pace.
