'Lost' Showrunner Carlton Cuse Joining A&E's 'Bates Motel' (Exclusive)
The series is being developed as a prequel to Alfred Hitchcock's classic horror movie "Psycho."
6:11 PM PST 3/9/2012 by Borys Kit THR.com

Carlton Cuse, who along with Damon Lindelof executive produced and acted as showrunners of ABC's Lost, is boarding A&E’s The Bates Motel.

A&E is developing the series, being produced by Mark Wolper and Roy Lee, as a prequel to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. The 1960 horror classic featured an off-his-rocker motel manager named Norman Bates who murdered occasional boarders while under the watch of his even-more-psychotic mother.

Bates Motel aims to tell the story of a young Bates and how his life with his deranged mother and her lover unhinged his mind, eventually turning him into a serial killer. It has been described as a cross between Twin Peaks and Smallville.

If the show is picked up to series, Cuse will executive produce and oversee the writing and production what is being envisioned intially as a six-episode “event" that would lead to additional seasons. It also marks the first “genre” TV project for Cuse since his acclaimed run on Lost.

Kerry Ehrin, who worked on Friday NIght Lights and Parenthood, also is joining Bates Motel as a writer/EP and will work with Cuse.

A&E is hoping the series can do for it what zombie drama The Walking Dead did for AMC, generating top ratings while initiating online water-cooler conversations.

Post-Lost, Cuse, with his Carlton Cuse Productions banner, is working in both TV and features. He recently turned in a draft of an untitled action-adventure for Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy's 21 Laps for Fox.

I don't think it will achieve Walking Dead levels. There is no way 5-7 million will watch a young boy being tormented, set in the 1940s and jealous of his mother's boyfriend. It would be better off as a mini-series.

Whenever I see the name Carlton Cuse I think of Nash Bridges.

Today CBS renewed a bunch of shows for this fall, 18 total.

The only ones not to receive a renewal were:

CSI:Miami, CSI:NY, Unforgettable, A Gifted Man, Two and a Half Men, Rob and Rules of Engagement.

Two and a Half Men are still in discussions with WB but the rest of the shows are on the chopping block. Rumours are that CBS is finally expanding their Thursday comedy block to two hours so an extra drama could go and Rules may stick around again. Starting the year on Saturday nights before being moved to Thursdays, this show has somehow racked up 85 episodes over the years in multiple timeslots.

A Gifted Man is as good as gone and like Unforgettable so it becomes a toss up between CSI: Miami and CSI: NY.

[Prison Mike]

That's a shame. I liked A Gifted Man.

[wiegeabo]

I'd say Miami. It has more seasons, and AMC will keep producing the show if CBS cuts it.

[Sawyer]

CSI: Vegas is the only one that deserves to live. And, at this point, that's almost solely because of Danson.

Luck just got cancelled.... seems they've had three horses die on them during filming & they couldn't ensure no more would die, so HBO ceased all production of the show...

[Dr. Evil]

So no more CSI Miami = no more David Caruso puns

AMC seems to be picking it up cause they have re-run rights. I may actually watch it on AMC. Put it behind Walking Dead. Cue the puns.

Looks like...I'm following *sunglasses* a dead lead-in.

With three dead horses, the people working on this show were clearly doing something wrong. Something needed to be done.

[LibidoLoca]

Looks like CBS is pulling an NBC with that Must See TV-like comedy block.

Glad I didn't keep trying to watch it. I actually got bored after about 15 minutes into the pilot and gave up. Kept meaning to go back since I figured I was missing some good stuff, but now I'm not even going to bother.

**** them anyway for getting horses killed.

Just an excuse to cancel it because of the very low ratings. While it is subscription based, the ratings were too low to keep for HBO. Maybe Starz who are still starting out but anything with a 0.1 in the demo will get canceled.

Luck (HBO)
-9:02 PM: 0.474 million viewers, 0.14 A18-49
-11:02 PM: 0.223 million viewers, 0.07 A18-49

AMC is crushing shows on Sunday night with The Walking Dead/Comic Book Men/Walking Dead encore/Talking Dead and HBO has their limpest lineup against it. It had to go. It's not just AMC, 100 other programs on Sunday night did better than Luck their ratings were so low.

HBO was arrogant and ordered a second season after the first episode aired and then each week it has shed viewers and attracts around 500,000. The Sopranos at their peak had 10-13 million viewers an episode.

[enterthemadness]

Oh, please happen. Seems like Soap Opera Network has learned ABC is informing local stations on the DL, that The Revolution is canceled. Could General Hospital move to 2pm?!?!?! *fan girl mode*

Well at least GH doesn't have the oldest audience, but soaps aren't long for network TV.

ABC might as well be the new NBC. Actually, they a 3rd place network sinking.

The mods should really retitle this thread....... something like "ETM complains about all the networks - Part 435" might be more appropriate.

Well, we can agree on that. Since it's the only good series Syfy has.
