Just a friendly reminder that A&E’s Bates Motel reopens for business tonight at 9/8c! I watched the first episode of the brand-new second season last week and it picks up right where we left off … oh Miss Watson! This season is going to be an awesome and scary ride with Norman (played to creepy perfection by Freddie Highmore) and his obnoxious and overbearing mother Norma (Vera Farmiga).
