Synopsis of Bates Motel

Norma Bates and her son Norman move to White Pine Bay, a coastal town in Oregon, after her husband dies in Arizona. Norma has bought the Seafairer Motel so that the two of them can start a new life. Norman is a fragile-looking young man who is very attached to his mother, and their possessive relationship shapes many of the family's decisions. The story takes place in the present, a few years before the events of the movie Psycho. The series was created by Carlton Cuse, Kerry Ehrin and Anthony Cipriano for the A&E network, and Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore play this pair, whose bond and life together at the motel begin to unravel from the very first moment.

Trivia about Bates Motel

Timothée Chalamet auditioned for the role of Norman Bates before Freddie Highmore was chosen, though he mistook the project for American Psycho.
Carlton Cuse cited Twin Peaks as a key inspiration. He and Kerry Ehrin considered making the 70 episodes that were missing, since Twin Peaks only had 30.
Chris Bacon was hired in January 2013 to compose the series' music.
After filming wrapped, the exterior of the Bates Motel in Aldergrove, the replica built for the series, was torn down in February 2017.
Season four received a 100% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 17 reviews.
On June 15, 2015, A&E renewed the series for a fourth and fifth season, making it the longest-running original scripted drama on the network.
Freddie Highmore was the first actor that casting director April Webster presented for the role of Norman Bates. Since he was in London, his first audition was held over Skype, and the team decided to look at more options before choosing him.
During the filming of a fight between Norman and Dylan in the second season, Freddie Highmore cut his nose, and the bleeding was real, although both actors continued the scene while laughing.
