During Friday afternoon’s Bates Motel Comic-Con panel, producers announced who will play Marion Crane — Janet Leigh’s iconic Psycho stab-ee — in the series’ fifth and final season. And, oh my gosh, it’s you! Or  — no, wait. It’s Rihanna!
In a statement released after the announcement, executive producers Carlton Cuse and Kerry Ehrin said (via The Hollywood Reporter):
“We wanted to thrust the iconic role into a contemporary spotlight and redefine it in a meaningful and exciting new way.  We also heard Rihanna was a fan of the show, and we were huge fans of hers, so it was the perfect collision of creativity and fate.â€
Hm. Interesting that they act as though they’ve never heard that you were a fan of the show. All that time spent practicing your Marion Crane face, and for what?
