‘Bates Motel’ Season 5 Spoilers: Norma’s Death Not The End Of Norman’s Mother – Will Dylan and Sheriff Romero Return?

‘Bates Motel’ season 4 ended with the shocking murder of Norman’s [Freddie Highmore] mother Norma [Vera Farmiga]. Fans of ‘Bates Motel’ and the movie ‘Psycho’ knew the end was coming for Norma but were a bit shocked at the way her life ended.

The final season of ‘Bates Motel’ is tentatively set to begin filming in September 2016 and will begin airing in March 2017. ‘Bates Motel’ spoilers tease that viewers haven’t seen the end of Norma, she will continue to live on in Norman’s mind.

What more can Freddie tell fans about how the final season of ‘Bates Motel’ will play out? At some point Dylan Massett [Max Thieriot] must return and his life will be in danger, as will Sherriff Alex Romero [Nestor Carbonell]. Fans will need to wait and see just how the story plays out with these two characters.

Get ready because Freddie Highmore says the story “definitely feels fresh and new. It’s about reestablishing these new rules. And lots of that is going to take place in Norman’s mind.”

In Norman’s mind his mother is not really dead so fans will see how that manifest itself throughout the final season. Freddie says it’s going to be incredible so viewers shouldn’t miss one moment. Vera Farmiga, despite being killed off as Norman’s mother, will play a new version of the character she as portrayed for four seasons of ‘Bates Motel.’

A new photo of Freddie Highmore recreating Anthony Perkins iconic photo posing underneath the owl statue. This photo of Perkins was used to promote the original release of ‘Psycho’ in 1960. This seems to be a tease to fans that the fifth and final season of ‘Bates Motel’ may have a lot in common with the original Alfred Hitchcock movie.
