A&E Sets Premiere Date for BATES MOTEL

BATES MOTEL — the contemporary prequel to the movie PSYCHO — will officially make its A&E debut on March 18th at 10 PM.

“[Executive producers] Carlton [Cuse] and Kerry [Ehrin] crafted a fascinating backstory for Norman and Norma Bates that has been brought to life by this incredible cast,” said Bob DeBitetto, President and GM of A&E Network and Bio Channel, in a press release. “It’s thought provoking television at its finest and we’re thrilled to bring it to the A&E family.”

So what exactly will this show be? According to the network, “following the tragic death of her husband, Norma Bates buys a motel on the outskirts of the idyllic coastal town of White Pine Bay, seeking a fresh start. As Norma and Norman get ensconced in their new home, they discover this town isn’t quite what it seems, and the locals aren’t so quick to let them in on their secrets. But the Bates’ are done being pushed around and will do whatever it takes to survive – and will do whatever it takes to protect their own secrets.”
