List of episodes

The fifth and final season[1] of Bates Motel premiered on February 20, 2017, and concluded on April 24, 2017. The season consisted of 10 episodes and aired on Mondays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on A&E.[2] The series itself is described as a "contemporary prequel" to the 1960 film Psycho, following the life of Norman Bates and his mother Norma prior to the events portrayed in the Hitchcock film. However, the final season of the series loosely adapts the plot of Psycho. The series takes place in the fictional town of White Pine Bay, Oregon.

The season was released on Blu-ray and DVD on September 19, 2017.[3]

Production on the season began on September 16, 2016.[17] The series filmed its final scenes at the specially-built Bates Motel set in Aldergrove on January 25, 2017, and production began tearing the house down the following day.[18][19] Carbonell filmed his final scenes as Sheriff Alex Romero on January 27, 2017.[20][21] Filming officially wrapped for the series on January 31, 2017.[22] In February 2017, the Bates Motel exterior set in Aldergrove was subsequently demolished.[23]
