The tenth episode of Bates Motel is the last episode of the season, and if the preview video is any indication, it doesn't look like things will be getting better for Norma and Norman any time soon. This may be the last episode of Bates Motel that we'll see this year, but A&E already announced that a second season is in the works and it's expected to premiere early next year:
“A&E Network has picked up a second season of the acclaimed drama series, “Bates Motel” starring Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore from executive producers Carlton Cuse and Kerry Ehrin, it was announced… by Bob DeBitetto, President and General Manager of A&E Network and BIO Channel. Season two of “Bates Motel” will begin pre-production later this year on ten new episodes slated to premiere in 2014.”
