Bates Motel is moving into its fifth and final season, and the Pyscho prequel is starting to catch-up with its iconic parent film.

As the loop begins to close, it's only fitting that Marion Crane, the most famous victim of Norman Bates, would appear on the series as it comes to an end. What wasn't expected, however, was just who would be taking on the part.

It was revealed at Comic-Con that Rihanna would be joining Bates Motel to play Crane, a move that was surprising to say the least. Although she's made a few film appearances, this will be her first TV role, and it's hard to know exactly how well it'll work. Rihanna has also been cast in Luc Besson's upcoming, insane-looking sci-fi Valerian, so obviously she has some talent on screen, and it'll be intriguing to see her take on the famous character, and that shower scene.
