A&E has announced the upcoming fifth season of “Bates Motel” as its last. The acclaimed show is a re-imagining of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho from producers Carlton Cuse (”LOST”) and Kerry Ehrin’s (”Friday Night Lights”).

The sad news was made during this year’s SDCC and brought with it a surprise casting announcement: pop singer Rihanna will play Marion Crane, the infamous Norman Bates victim murdered in the shower and played in the original Psycho film by Janet Leigh.

Cuse said:

We wanted to thrust the iconic role into a contemporary spotlight and redefine it in a meaningful and exciting new way. We also heard Rihanna was a fan of the show, and we were huge fans of hers, so it was the perfect collision of creativity and fate.

Well … at least it wasn’t Lady GaGa. Rihanna’s acting creds include a small role in the 2012 flop Battleship and cameos in This Is the End, Annie (2014), and Bring It On: All or Nothing. She’s sold more than 200 million records and won 8 Grammys.
