Carrie Keagan to host Bates Motel: After Hours after season premiere tonight

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Last week we shared the news that the season premiere of A&E's "Bates Motel" would be getting an aftershow titled "Bates Motel: After Hours", which will feature executive producers Carlton Cuse and Kerry Ehrin, as well as actors Vera Farmiga, Freddie Highmore, and Max Thieriot interacting with fans and answering questions about what we can expect from the second season of the hit series, and now that the season premiere is upon us (airing tonight at 9/8c on A&E), we've learned who will be taking on hosting duties for "After Hours".

EW is reporting that former VH1 hottie Carrie Keagan will be hosting "Bates Motel: After Hours" for A&E, which is set to air directly after "Those Who Kill" (airing at 10pm/eastern, following the season premiere of "Bates Motel") at 11pm/eastern.

I'm stoked for the return of Norman and Norma tonight and will be staying up to check out "Bates Motel: After Hours" just to see if they drop any hints about what kind of surprises they have in store for us this season.

“Picking up from last season, Norman (Freddie Highmore) is fixating on Miss Watson’s death while Norma’s mysterious past starts to haunt the family with the introduction of her brother. Meanwhile, Norman’s brother Dylan, (Max Thieriot), gets more entrenched in the familial drug war that fuels White Pine Bay and finds himself right in the middle of the danger as Bradley (Nicola Peltz), who remains on the hunt to uncover her father’s killer, is driven to precarious extremes. Sheriff Romero (Nestor Carbonell), is caught up on all fronts as everything in town escalates and Emma (Olivia Cooke) complicates her relationship with Norman as the duo explore new love interests, bringing new and old characters along for the ride.”

Guest stars checking into “Bates Motel” throughout the new season are Michael Vartan (“HawthoRne,” “Alias”), Kathleen Robertson (“Boss”) Paloma Kwiatkowski ( Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters), Rebecca Creskoff (“The Practice,” “Hung”), Kenny Johnson (“Sons of Anarchy”), Michael Eklund ( 88 Minutes, “Supernatural”) and Michael O’Neill (“Dallas Buyers Club,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The West Wing”).
