Latest Bates Motel promo asks ‘Who is Norman Bates?’

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Who is Norman Bates? Is he a son, a friend, a brother, or a psycho? That's the question posed by the latest promo for the upcoming second season of A&E's "Bates Motel", which is set to bow next Monday, March 3. We're excited for the return of one of the best shows on cable and with this latest look at the season ahead we can expect to be in for some twisted fun and wicked surprises.

Joining Freddie Highmore, Vera Farmiga, Max Thieriot, and other regulars Olivia Cooke, Nicola Peltz, and Nestor Carbonell in Season 2 are newcomers Kathleen Robertson, Rebecca Creskoff, Kenny Johnson, Paloma Kwiatkowski, and Michael Vartan.

Picking up from last season, Norman (Freddie Highmore) is fixating on Miss Watson’s death while Norma’s mysterious past starts to haunt the family with the introduction of her brother. Meanwhile, Norman’s brother Dylan, (Max Thieriot), gets more entrenched in the familial drug war that fuels White Pine Bay and finds himself right in the middle of the danger as Bradley (Nicola Peltz), who remains on the hunt to uncover her father’s killer, is driven to precarious extremes. Sheriff Romero (Nestor Carbonell), is caught up on all fronts as everything in town escalates and Emma (Olivia Cooke) complicates her relationship with Norman as the duo explore new love interests, bringing new and old characters along for the ride.
