The Hollywood Reporter has debuted a handful of new images from A&E’s “Bates Motel,” giving us looks at not only Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) and Norma (Vera Farmiga), but the supporting characters who round out the show.

Here you’ll see Olivia Cooke as Norman’s friend, Emma; Max Theroit as Norman’s brother, Dylan; Nestor Carbonell as the town Sheriff; Mike Vogel as the Deputy and Nicola Peltz as Bradley, a girl at school Norman takes a liking to (that can’t bode too well for her).

We still don’t have a debut date for the prequel series, but expect it to check in sometime early next year.


“Bates Motel” will give viewers an intimate understanding of how Norman Bates’ psyche developed from his childhood through his teen years. Fans will have access to the dark, twisted backstory and learn firsthand how his mother, Norma, and her lover damaged Norman, helping forge the most well-known serial killing motel owner in history.
