The BBC has announced that it has picked up the rights to all five seasons of Bates Motel for iPlayer.
The show - a prequel to Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece Psycho - starred Freddie Highmore as a teenage version of the murderous Norman Bates and aired between 2013 and 2017.
"Bates Motel is modern reinvention of the classic spine-tingler," said Sue Deeks, the BBC's head of acquisitions.
"Full of suspense, intrigue and unexpected twists, it will keep BBC viewers mesmerised until the very end."
Bates Motel - due to become available in the coming weeks - is just the latest of the BBC's acquisitions for iPlayer, joining the likes of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Pretty Little Liars and Heroes on the service.
