British cast member Freddie Highmore takes part in a panel discussion of A&E's "Bates Motel"

The "Bates Motel" Season 3 premiere air date has been set on A&E cable, and videos teasing what happens next to Norman Bates have been released. Fans are thrilled, as the series pays homage to "Psycho's" take on voyeurism in the prequel's new season.

(Spoiler alert) This update contains minor "Bates Motel" Season 3 spoilers. Read on at your own risk.

A "Bates Motel" Season 3 video clip appears to suggest that teenager Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) will be spying on Annika Johnson (Tracy Spiridakos) through a peephole. This reminds the "Psycho" fans that the same thing happened to Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh in the original movie.

In another "Bates Motel" Season 3 promo clip, Norma Bates (Vera Farmiga), Dylan (Max Thieriot) and Sheriff Alex Romero (Nestor Carbonell) are caught in different points of struggles. Other spoiler reports reveal that Emma Decody (Olivia Cooke) will have it worse when it comes to the health department.

"Bates Motel" Season 1 is an elaborate introduction of Norman's family dynamics, with a story on his father's death. In Season 2, Norman begins to understand the gaps in his mind. On the side, Dylan discovers his parents are siblings.

Also in "Bates Motel" Season 2, Norman rediscovers himself after the death of Miss Blair Watson (Keegan Connor Tracy). Making a comeback in "Bates Motel" Season 3 is Norman's teen crush, Bradley (Nicola Peltz). Viewers expect more suspense, more darkness.

"Bates Motel" is delivered as a prequel to the 1960 film "Psycho," which is based on a 1959 novel of the same name, written by Robert Bloch. Alfred Hitchcock directed the original movie, which starred Anthony Perkins as the adult Norman Bates.

A&E cable is scheduled to broadcast the premiere episode of "Bates Motel" Season 3 on Mar. 9, Monday.
