Season 3 of Bates Motel, meanwhile, focuses on the evolution of the Bates family, and Norman's (Freddie Highmore) waning ability to remain in denial about what's happening to him. The contemporary prequel to Psycho also stars Vera Farmiga, Max Thieriot, Olivia Cooke, Kenny Johnson and Nestor Carbonell.
