In March, A&E will take viewers to two different small towns. In the first one, a motel offers a night of rest for some and eternal sleep for others, while in the second, those thought to be dead come back to their loved ones very much alive. We're a couple of months away from the premieres of Bates Motel and The Returned, but newly released teaser videos offer a look at the creepy onscreen stories to come.

The 10-episode third season of Bates Motel will debut on A&E on March 9th, 2015. Returning cast members include Freddie Highmore as Norman Bates, Vera Farmiga as Norman’s mother, Norma Louise Bates, and Max Thieriot as Norman’s half-brother, Dylan Massett. Tracy Spiridakos, who starred as Charlie Matheson in the now-defunct Revolution series on NBC, joins Bates Motel in the recurring role of Annika Johnson, an intriguing newcomer to the small town of White Pine Bay.

Based on the French series of the same name, A&E ordered a 10-episode first season order of The Returned, with the first episode also airing on March 9th, 2015. Mark Pellegrino (Supernatural, Being Human) stars and Carlton Cuse, who is also working on Bates Motel and The Strain, is writing and executive producing the series.
