From Universal Pictures Home Entertainment: Bates Motel: Season Three

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., July 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Another thrill-filled season of television's most "deliciously deranged" (Matt Roush, TVInsider.com) series, Bates Motel: Season 3 comes to Blu-ray^™ and DVD on October 13, 2015 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Starring Emmy and Oscar^®-nominee Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air, The Conjuring) and Freddie Highmore (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Spiderwick Chronicles), Bates Motel has "…evolved into a deftly acted story of small-town dysfunction, creepy when it needs to be yet far more wide ranging than the movie that inspired it," according to Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times. In addition to all 10 Season 3 episodes of the award-winning series, both the Blu-ray^™ and DVD include more than a half hour of deleted scenes and an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette.

After a blissful summer of closeness with his mother in the safe confines of their home, Norman (Freddie Highmore) returns to school and is flooded with fears about what really happened with Blaire Watson. Norma (Vera Farmiga) is forced to face the truth about Norman for the first time and turns for support to the other man in her life, Norman's half-brother, Dylan (Max Thieriot – Jumper). This relationship triggers Norman's jealousy and a new kind of love triangle erupts between Norma and her two sons. When Norma's estranged brother, Caleb (Kenny Johnson – "The Shield") returns to White Pine Bay, the family bond is challenged more than ever. Norma also finds herself growing closer to the enigmatic Sheriff Romero (Nestor Carbonell – "Lost"), while trying to protect her business and her son before fate crashes down on her.

A production of Universal Television, watch all 10 chilling episodes of Bates Motel: Season 3 back-to-back and uninterrupted.  Be sure to catch more drama unfold with season four on A&E in 2016.
