[Next On] “Bates Motel” and “Those Who Kill” Promos
Airing back-to-back on A&E Monday nights are both “Bates Motel” and “Those Who Kill”, who popular genre series.
I was one of the sympathizers of the first season of “Bates,” but after two absolutely dreadful episodes here in the second season, I’m about ready to tap out. Last night’s episode was dreadful. With the introduction of a new family member, I can only hope next week’s Episode 2.03, “Caleb”, restores my faith. In it, “Dylan tries to bridge the gap between Norma and her brother Caleb, who shows up at the motel. Norma meets an ally in her battle to stop the bypass. Emma’s memorial for a friend leads to a new relationship. Norman falls under the influence of a townie girl.“
We also have a promo for next week’s “Those Who Kill,” Episode 2.03 “Rocking the Boat.” In it, “As the killing escalates, Catherine uses the investigation of the two victims to push Thomas to research her allegations further.” I haven’t been able to catch last night’s episode just yet, but I did enjoy the season premiere quite a bit.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
