00:01How could a god who made all this beautiful stuff in the world also make things that are scary and evil?
00:14Norman has been through a lot, and he's a sensitive boy.
00:19You're different, aren't you?
00:20What's so different about me?
00:27This is our chance to start over.
00:31It's all gonna be good, Norman.
00:38And action!
00:40We're not remaking Psycho, we're using it as an inspiration.
00:44This show will challenge everything that you think you know.
00:49It's an incredible reimagining of the original Psycho.
00:52You don't think about the future?
00:53Or what's gonna happen when you grow up?
00:56Base Motel takes place in a contemporary world.
00:59We're bringing Norman Bates into high school and he's got a mobile phone.
01:03We own a motel, Norman Bates.
01:06The locations are just breathtaking.
01:08Every time that I see the set, it blows my mind.
01:11This town looks really beautiful on the outside, but underneath it is something very dark and malevolent.
01:16Now get the hell off my property or I will shoot you myself.
01:20The people involved, I think, are fantastic.
01:23We were incredibly lucky to get this stellar cast, led by Fuera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore.
01:28Freddie Highmore, he's superb.
01:30He had this innocence and then he could go really dark.
01:33You said you wanted me to have a life here.
01:34Don't lose your temper at me, Norman!
01:36The writing is such a blast.
01:39It takes these crazy turns.
01:41Mom, what are we gonna do?
01:42It's suspense-filled all the way through, but still you just feel so much of these characters.
01:47Every member of the crew is excited to read the next script.
01:51I'm dying to read the rest of the episodes.
01:53They're page turners. You just can't wait to find out what's happening.
01:56Dad!
01:57There's a lot of surprises, there's a lot of twists and turns.
01:59It's scary and funny and surprising.
02:02This massive thing happens in the pilot.
02:04There's something here you need to see!
02:06I don't know how far I can go into it.
02:08I don't know how to do this without, like, how does A&E feel about spilling the beans here?
02:12I think, I think we've kind of said enough.
02:14You have to watch it.
02:16I love you, Norman.
02:17I love you too, Mom.
02:27I love you too!
02:32I love you too.
