Rihanna is set to make her scripted television debut on the fifth and final season of A&E’s “Bates Motel.”
The superstar is set to play Marion Crane, the role made famous by Janet Leigh in Alfred Hitchcock‘s “Psycho.”
Show creators and executive producers Kerry Ehrin and Carlton Cuse introduced a clip of Rihanna at San Diego Comic-Con breaking the news herself.
The convention floor let out a collective gasp when she appeared, stepping out of the shower — the same location where Leigh met her demise in the 1960 film that follows the events unfolding in “Bates Motel.”
