The fabulous pop star Rihanna will play the Janet Leigh/Anne Heche role of Marion Crane in the final season of “Bates Hotel” unspooling next year.
Vera Farmiga will continue to play Norman’s dead mother Norma, a role originated by Anthony Perkins and inherited by Vince Vaughn in the movie versions of “Psycho.”
No word on who will play Marion’s concerned sister Lila.
This reminds me of the final season of NBC’s “Hannibal,” whose final season provided a loose miniseries remake of “Manhunter.”
