"Bates Motel" Season 5 release date is still months away. With the current dearth of details, fans are left wondering what the upcoming fifth and final season could bring, especially since the showrunners revealed that the it does not have to follow to the letter the details in Alfred Hitchcock's film "Psycho." Listed below are some of the ways the "Bates Motel" Season 5 plot details could deviate from the original film.
Will Rihanna's Marion Crane Have A Boyfriend Or A Girlfriend?
One of the things that could play out differently with the arrival of "Bates Motel" Season 5 release date is the partner of Marion Crane, the doomed character that will be portrayed by singer and actress Rihanna. In the original Alfred Hitchcock movie "Psycho," Marion had a boyfriend named Sam Loomis. This boyfriend was actually instrumental to Marion Crane's death as he convinced Marion to steal $40,000 a considerable fortune back then.
Marion then hid in the motel with the stolen money while contemplating on what to do next. It turned out badly for her as her choice of motel would ultimately lead to her death. While the upcoming "Bates Motel" Season 5 already cast Rihanna as Marion, who gets to play Sam Loomis? There is no "Bates Motel" Season 5 cast announcement at the moment regarding the identity of the actor to play as Sam. What is known however, is that actress Isabelle McNally will be portraying the role of Madeline Loomis next season as previously reported by GamenGuide.
Interestingly, there is no Madeline Loomis in Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho." Now speculations are saying that the silence about the Sam Loomis character could be because Sam gets replaced by Madeline. Will Rihanna's Marion have a lesbian lover instead when the "Bates Motel" Season 5 air date arrives?
How Will Marion, The Character Rihanna Will Portray, Die In 'Bates Motel' Season 5?
Another thing fans like to speculate on is the manner of death for the character portrayed by Rihanna. Apparently, even Alfred Hitchcock did not follow to the letter the events described in the "Psycho" novel by Robert Bloch, where the film was based on. As earlier reported, Alfred veered from the original death scene in the novel where it was described that Marion Crane died when Norman decapitated her head. Instead, Hitchcock decided to kill Marion by multiple stab wounds in that now iconic shower scene. The question most fans are asking is which scene would be adopted in the coming "Bates Motel" Season 5?
The manner in which Rihanna's Marion Crane would die could be one of the changes to be introduced by showrunners in "Bates Motel" Season 5. If previous speculations are correct that Marion will have a lesbian lover, even the body count might differ as Norman will undoubtedly have to dispose Madeline as well. In fact, will there ever be that shower scene at all? "Bates Motel" Season 5 release date is slated sometime next year though a specific date is still to be announced. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for updates.
