Tonight see's the start of another highly anticipated new show in the UK. There have been great reviews from the US about this show and it is definitely worth a watch. Created by LOST producer Carlton Cuse and Kerry Ehrin and Anthony Cipriano the show is a contemporary prequel to the 1960 film and book Psycho and depicts the life of Norman Bates and his mother Norma prior to the events portrayed in Hitchcocks film.
The show kicks off after the death of Normas husband and she buys her own Motel so she can start a new life with her son Norman. The show stars Vera Farmiga who has recently starred in horror The Conjuring as Norma and British born star Freddie Highmore as Norman (Finding Neverland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Spiderwick Chronicles.) The story follows a series of events at the motel that leads up to Norman being a serial killer in the film Psycho.
The show is ten episodes long and starts tonight (12th September 2013) at 9pm on Universal Channel. (Sky Channel 113, Virgin Media 137.) It has also been renewed for a second season.
