Still, it was never really obvious when that particular shoe would drop, leading many to still be shocked and surprised when Norman finally killed Norma near the end of Bates Motel season 4.
The official trailer for the series finale of Bates Motel prepares fans for the final chapter of Norman Bates’ story.
It’s been a long, strange trip for Norman and Norma Bates, but really, everyone knew it would be.
Naturally, this led the currently airing Bates Motel season 5 to become a season of change, with a large time jump occurring beforehand, Dylan and Emma now having a baby, Romero doing his best to get out of prison and kill Norman, and Norman trying to balance his job of running the family motel with his mother persona’s compulsion to kill.
