There’s no worries that Bates Motel will be cancelled this time around since the A&E series has already been renewed for a fifth season. Will that be the end? How will the TV show do in the ratings in season four? Stay tuned.
Set in the small town of White Pine Bay in Oregon, Bates Motel tells the story of a troubled young man, Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore), and his mother, Norma (Vera Farmiga). Others in the cast include Max Thieriot, Nestor Carbonell, Olivia Cooke, Kenny Johnson, Nicola Peltz, Michael Vartan, Kathleen Robertson, Michael O’Neill, Paloma Kwiatkowski, Rebecca Creskoff, Michael Eklund, and Mike Vogel.

What do you think? Do you like the Bates Motel TV series? Do you think it should continue beyond season five?
This is ridiculous. Finally a great show and it’s being cancelled only after 5 seasons when some shows have been going for over a decade that shouldn’t have even begun. Please don’t cancel! Let the show go on!!!!
ONLY ONE MORE SEASON THAT’S JUST WRONG!!! I’m so tired of these stupid ratings, people please start complaining about the way they decide if your favorite show gets canceled. If you don’t watch it that night it doesn’t get counted and that’s what determines what goes and what stays. They need to get a clue what DVRs do, I hardly ever get to watch the night my favorite show comes on and I don’t think it should be canceled because of that. When you watch on your DVRs should count!!!
I Love the show it is one of the best series that I have seen I was just hoping that they would bring Mrs Bates back and have it as some kinda of a dream. Please don’t cancel the show
I’m so disappointed. I completely missed season 5. I always thought that new seasons of episodes started in the fall. I wish A & E would repeat the season and continue with the show. Unfortunately, I don’t like any other shows on this channel. Please replay season 5 this fall. Thank you .
I loved the show I wish it would continue.
I meant to say one dimensional character, sorry. Can the moderators edit that for me?
Please no more finale teasers. People are jerks and like to ruin it for other people that don’t want to know ahead of time by posting them in Bates Motel groups!!
Won’t Norma be a more dimensional character now that she’s dead and will only be Norma that exists in Norman’s mind? She’ll no longer be that realtor beating, prick calling, sign demolishing Norma that we all came to know and love?
I was very upset when Norma died. I got soooo into it. I didn’t like Norman after that. My nephew kept saying, calm down. Freddie High more didn’t kill her! The show is so fascinating and I love Norma, so I’m glad that she’s still going to be in the show in some form or another. I agree that the season ends too quickly.Wish it went on forever!
Each episode is riveting wanting the viewer to look forward to the next week. Season ends too quickly.
it’s one of the best shows on TV…I never miss an episode. All the actors are excellent and the scripts are so exciting that you can’t wait for the next episode.
RENEW for more seasons! Everyone does a Great Job of acting!
I agree that the acting is superb..the show gets better each time you watch it…A must see!!! Hope it stays around for a while…
Something original and all round great quality.
Very well written and acted. It is very creepy, and I mean that in only the best way!
Bates is hit no matter what!
I sure hope Norma gets some psyche help for Norman this year!
