About the series
After her husband’s death, Norma Bates moves with her teenage son, Norman, to a quiet town where she buys an old motel, hoping they can start over. But their new home comes with secrets of its own, and the closer they become, the more unsettling Norman’s behavior grows. As strange events unfold around the motel, Norma becomes increasingly determined to protect her son, even when that means crossing dangerous lines. Meanwhile, Norman struggles with disturbing episodes that blur the boundary between reality and his own mind. What begins as a story about a mother and son trying to rebuild their lives gradually turns into a dark psychological descent, exploring trauma, obsession, manipulation, and the troubled bond that will ultimately shape Norman Bates into the infamous figure he is destined to become.
