If you’re a regular around these parts, you know full well just how excited I am for A&E’s Bates Motel. The series looks absolutely fantastic (at least from the few minutes of footage that we’ve seen), and has had an extremely powerful marketing campaign.

 

A&E today released a new trailer for the series, and (of course) it’s a great peek at just what the series has to offer. Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think! Bates Motel opens for business on March 18th.

 

 

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.

A&E has just released a new TV spot for their upcoming drama, Bates Motel.

 

I’m beyond excited for this series; every single teaser, every trailer, and every image has been insanely effective. I’m quite looking forward to checking into Bates Motel when it premieres on March 18th.

 

Watch the new spot below, and let us know what you think!

 

 

In “Bates Motel,” 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.

After some photos and a few unsettling teasers,  A&E is finally giving us an actual look at the anticipated Psycho pseudo-prequel Bates Motel.

The trailer is hitting movie theatres nationwide, and Deadline was kind enough to put it online for everyone else to see. Colour me excited: Bates Motel looks suspenseful, disturbing, and mysterious, and bringing the Bates legacy into modern times is sure to turn some heads.

Watch the trailer below, and let us know what you think! Bates Motel premieres in 2013. I know I’ll be checking in, what about you?

“Norma Bates buys a motel on the outskirts of an idyllic coastal town seeking a fresh start with her teenage son, the handsome and shy Norman.”

A&E has just released two short teasers to garner excitement for their upcoming series Bates Motel. Colour me excited: while each video runs for just 15 seconds, each is well done, effective, and very creepy.

Bates Motel will of course act as a prequel to the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock classic Psycho (though interestingly enough, it looks to be set in modern times). Freddie Highmore will play a young Norman Bates, while his mother Norma will be played by Vera Farmiga. Nothing is know about the plot at this time, aside from the fact thatBates Motel will portray the twisted mother and sun relationship, and Norman’s descent into madness.

Bates Motel is set to premiere sometime in 2013. Excited?
