A&E has released a string of new images from its upcoming new drama “Bates Motel,” a prequel series to Hitchcock’s Psycho from Carlton Cuse (“LOST”) and Kerry Ehrin (”Friday Night Lights”). The shots, along with other cool tidbits, can be seen on show’s website.

“Bates Motel” follows Norman from childhood through adolescence and examines how his twisted relationship with his overbearing mother shaped him into a psycho killer. The series stars Freddie Highmore (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) as Norman and Vera Farmiga (Source Code) as his MILFY mother Norma Louise.

Costars include Nicola Peltz as Norman’s love interest Bradley Martin, Olivia Cook as his nerdy friend Emma Decody and Keegan Connor Tracy as his teacher and adviser Miss Watson. They’re joined by Max Thieriot as Norman’s half-brother Dylan Massett, Nestor Carbonell as sheriff Royce Romero and Mike Vogel as Deputy Zack Shelby.
