Bates Motel - tv series commissioned
http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=34442

As the article states, a tv series was attempted before in 87 but it was only a pilot and was very very strange.

But considering how American tv has developed in the last 10+ years this new attempt at a Psycho-based series could be very interesting.
Tv these days can give movies a run for their money in terms of direction, acting and engaging plots and twists.

Also, Hitchcock could be very "in" next year with the Hitchcock/Psycho movie starring Anthony Hopkins and there's also the BBC drama coming up.

I don't know how it could work. Would Norman Bates be in it? Would somebody new re-open the motel and discover the secrets of the motel's sordid past?!

We'll have to wait and see.

They tried a series in the 90s where a fellow inmate of Norman Bates takes over the hotel.

Not sure how they can make it work given the films pretty much cover all of Norman's murders. I guess it could be an unconnected reboot.

I can see it being like American Horror Story.

Probably not being a continuation of the Norman Bates stuff but using it as inspiration for a new premise perhaps.

Sounds like a prequel could be in the making.

Might get to meet Mother.
