Set around a coastal Oregon motel and the ever-present Bates house, the series transposes Psycho’s atmosphere of secrecy, taxidermy and psychological unease into a modern timeframe. The show ran from 2013 to 2017 and earned critical attention and several award nominations, with Vera Farmiga singled out for her performance. In the article below, we check whether Bates Motel is available to stream on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+.
Synopsis
A contemporary prequel to the 1960 film Psycho, the series traces the lives of Norma Bates and her son Norman before the events of the classic, repositioning their story in a different fictional community set in the present day. After her husband dies, Norma purchases a run-down motel on a coastal Oregon town’s main road, hoping to give her and Norman a fresh start. As they work to rebuild their lives, the isolation of motel ownership, the town’s secrets, and an increasingly enmeshed mother-son relationship begin to fray Norman’s grip on reality and steer both of them toward darker, unsettling changes.
