The crazy town that is “Bates Motel” won’t get any saner when it reopens March 3.
A&E Tuesday posted four video teases for Season 2 on its YouTube channel that reflect the videos you can see at its new interactive
web site.
The site takes you inside the Bates Motel and Norma’s house. You can unlock video clues about what happened in Season 1 and where Season 2 is headed. Fans also can virtually walk up the “Psycho” stairs, tour the motel’s rooms, walk around the property and scroll over Easter eggs. Apparently you can connect your phone to the site and use it as a flashlight to find more clues.
In one of the videos posted here, executive producers Carlton Cuse and Kerry Ehrin promise more surprises in Season 2.
“If viewers think they have ‘Bates Motel’ figured out, they’re wrong,” Cuse says in a video at batesmotel.com (in Room 12). “The twists and turns set in motion these weird storylines.”
Norman (Freddie Highmore) gets into taxidermy in Season 2, or possibly just taking apart dead animals. That’s a telling hobby, isn’t it? His relationship with Emma (Olivia Cooke) gets even more complicated as both explore new love interests and Norman fixates on Miss Watson’s murder.
Mama Norma (Vera Farmiga) faces a frightening figure from her past when her abusive brother, Caleb (Kenny Johnson). White Pine Bay’s drug war all but swallows up Norman’s brother Dylan (Max Thieriot), who finds himself right in the middle of the danger as Bradley (Nicola Peltz) is driven to extremes in her pursuit to learn the truth about her father’s death.
Sheriff Romero (Nestor Carbonell) has to deal with all the town’s issues.
Other guest stars checking into “Bates Motel” include Michael Vartan, Kathleen Robertson, Paloma Kwiatkowski, Rebecca Creskoff, Michael Eklund and Michael O’Neill.
Season 2 of “Bates Motel” premieres at 8 p.m. March 3 on A&E.
