On Monday night, fans of singer Rihanna get to see her acting chops as she plays Janet Leigh’s most memorable character, Marion Crane, on “Bates Motel.”
A synopsis on TVLine read:
“As Norman attempts to piece together Mother’s movements, Dylan and Emma face an unfortunate truth; Sam’s girlfriend, Marion Crane (played by Grammy winner Rihanna), makes an impetuous decision.”
The showrunners of the A&E mystery drama series Kerry Ehrin and Carlton Cuse shared to Vulture how they ended up casting the multiple Grammy winner:
“What we wanted to do was cast someone who wouldn’t be a pale imitation of Janet Leigh. And what happened was I was just reading Vanity Fair and I was reading a profile of Rihanna, and, in there, she said Bates Motel was her favorite show. I was like, “What?!” Kerry and I had been talking a lot about how we were gonna solve this Marion Crane problem, and I called her up and was like, “Hey, did you know Rihanna loves our show? What do you think of Rihanna for Marion Crane?” Kerry loved the idea, so I made some calls. I was really expecting that the answer would be absolutely not, but it turns out she really was a big fan of the show. When the idea was proposed to her, she was very excited about it. She stepped out of her concert tour to come to Vancouver and shoot.”
The two also divulged how the series would end, but teased that fans would need to watch “Bates Motel” until the very end in order to understand the ending. Cuse said, “We knew what we wanted to do from the very beginning. When Kerry and I were talking about it, we envisioned a five-year plan. We talked about the last year being our version of Norman from the movie. Mother was dead and he’s around her body and in his full-blown psychosis. Our imagining of the ending was something we talked about early on. The specifics of how it played out got worked out this year, but the emotional intention was something that we knew very early.”
