From Lost‘s Carlton Cuse and Friday Night Lights‘ Kerry Ehrin, Bates Motel will explore Norman’s relationship with his mother, Norma, and offer a look at his backstory that helped forge the infamous serial killer. The cast includes Max Thieriot as Norman’s older brother, Nicola Peltz as Norman’s friend and Olivia Cooke as one of his classmates.
