Rihanna Joins the Final Season of ‘Bates Motel’ as Marion Crane

Well this is something I never would have suspected.  For one, I never would have thought we’d see the day when the “Bates Motel” would finally catch up with “Psycho” and secondly I never could have guessed that Rihanna would be involved.

During the “Bates Motel” Comic Con panel it was announced that an iconic “Psycho” character would finally be making their way to the motel.  Marion Crane, famously portrayed by Janet Leigh, will be making an appearance in the final season of “Bates Motel” and she will be portrayed by singer and occasional actress Rihanna.

It’s not known if other characters from “Psycho” will make their way into “Bates Motel” at this point.  I’m curious if the final season will be a complete retelling of the original film or if the story will wrap up with Marion’s fate.  I have to imagine that following the plot of the original film would bring the most closure to the series.

What do you think?  How far will the final season go? How do you feel about Rihanna playing Marion Crane? Let us know down below.
