“Hung” star Rebecca Creskoff is checking into season two of A&E’s superb new drama “Bates Motel,” a present-day prequel series to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, produced by Carlton Cuse (“LOST”) and Kerry Ehrin (”Friday Night Lights”).

“Bates Motel” follows an emotionally unstable Norman Bates and his controlling mother Norma as they attempt to start new lives and a motel business in the small fictional town of White Pine Bay, Oregon. The show premiered in March to positive reviews from critics and fans alike.

Creskoff will play Norma’s first female friend in White Pine Bay. Also new this season are Michael Vartan (“Alias”) as Norma’s love interest, Kenny Johnson (“Sons of Anarchy”) as her estranged older brother and  Michael Eklund (The Call) as a high ranking member of the town’s drug traffickers.

Production on season two of “Bates Motel” starts this week.
