The Blair Witch Project’s Joshua Leonard makes a reservation for Bates Motel

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Hope you're ready to make reservations for the third season of A&E's "Bates Motel". We're just a few short months away from the return of the hit drama, and now TVLine has learned that THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT's Joshua Leonard has checked in to "Bates Motel", set to play the recurring role of James Finnigan, a community college psych professor whose pull towards Norma (Vera Farmiga) slowly chips away at his carefully constructed house of cards.

The gig marks a reunion for Leonard and Farmiga; the two played husband and wife in the 2011 indie HIGHER GROUND (which Farmiga directed).

Leonard's casting follows other new additions to the "Bates Motel" family, including "Mad Men" actor Kevin Rahm as a man from Romero’s past, Tracy Spiridakos ("Revolution") as a mystery woman who may or may not cozy up to Dylan and "Sons of Anarchy‘s" Ryan Hurst as an onscreen rival to Kenny Johnson’s Caleb.

"Bates Motel" will reopen for more murderous business in March 2015.
