"Bates Motel" Season 5 release date will not arrive until next year. Yet, fans of the A&E Network hit horror drama are already worked up and raring to see what plot twists the show could be dishing in the coming "Bates Motel" Season 5 premiere.
While the television series is based on the iconic 1960 film Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock which the upcoming season is expected to connect to and perhaps overlap plotwise, "Bates Motel" Season 5 is not expected to mirror the details of the original film so meticulously. As such, part of the suspense for fans is to speculate what differences could be introduced in the coming "Bates Motel" Season 5 premiere.
'Bates Motel' Season 5 Cast - New Actress To Play Character Not Found In Psycho
The clue, it seems, is found in the "Bates Motel" Season 5 cast itself. Recently, TV Line reported that actress Isabelle McNally will join this season as Madeleine Loomis, described to be a kindhearted woman who looks like a young Norma Bates.
To fans well-versed in Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" film, the deviation becomes apparent. There is no Madeleine Loomis character in the original movie which begs the question what role could McNally's Madeleine Loomis perform when "Bates Motel" Season 5 air date comes. As one soon finds out, speculations on the subject is probably just as exciting as the anticipation for next season.

While there is no Madeleine Loomis in the original Psycho movie, another character carries the same family name Loomis. Sam Loomis was Marion Crane's boyfriend in the original movie. Now, the question fans are asking is - how is Madeleine related to Sam when "Bates Motel" Season 5 air date comes?
TV Line offers the possibility that Madeleine could be Sam's wife. Going by this line of thought, it means that Rihanna's Marion Crane will be portrayed as Sam's mistress in the coming "Bates Motel" Season 5 premiere.

However, there is a more interesting possibility about Isabelle McNally's character offered by zap2it and this version would certainly be a greater deviation from the original plot. According to the publication, there is no need of a Sam Loomis to appear in the coming "Bates Motel" Season 5 release date because Madeleine would suffice.
Or perhaps, the correct phrase to use is that Madeleine would be replacing Sam. When "Bates Motel" Season 5 air date arrives, it is possible that Rihanna's Marion Crane and Madeleine Loomis could be lesbian lovers.
In fact the description that Madeleine resembles a young Norma Bates could be the clue. It is possible that Norman Bates witnessing Marion, a woman that he is likely attracted to, engage in an intimate act with Madeleine, who looks like his dead mother, could be the trigger for him to commit the crime. But if this speculation is correct, another deviation could be the body count as it is likely that Norman will kill both Marion and Madeleine in "Bates Motel" Season 5.
'Bates Motel' Season 5 Air Date
However things pan out in the end, it is sure nice to note that executive producer Carlton Cuse did not want to just boringly recreate "Psycho." Unfortunately, fans may need to wait a little longer before "Bates Motel" Season 5 release date comes. While no specific date is yet set, the fifth and final installment of the series is already slated to come out by 2017.
