Since last Tuesday, the television and cable networks have been presenting at the Television Critics Association Winter Tour and today featured the some of the latter.
Earlier today we reported that A&E provided an update to the schedule for its crime drama Longmire, but the cable network also had other news to share.
A&E plans a prequel series to the classic Alfred Hitchcock thriller Psycho. An original scripted drama titled Bates Motel, the series would be centered on Norman Bates, and provide a backstory into how he came to become the character we've all seen in the film.
Also in development is an American version of the Danish series Den som dræber (Those Who Kill), which is based on an original concept by crime novelist Elsebeth Egholm. The Danish drama follows the inquiries of a special unit at Copenhagen's police force, consisting of detective inspector Katrina Ries Jensen and forensic psychiatrist Thomas Schaeffer, who specialize in serial killers that do not fit within traditional behavioral patterns.
