'Bates Motel' news: season 4 sees return of Ryan Hurst

(A&E/Facebook)

Fans of the popular show "Bates Motel" will be glad to know that the show will be coming back with familiar faces this season. Showrunner, Kerry Ehrin, tells TVline that some characters from season one will be coming back to stir trouble with the Bates.

According to Vine Report, one particular face fans should look out for is Ryan Hurst. Hurst will be reprising his role as Chick Hogan, or "crazy mountain man." Chick will be coming back in the fourth season to stir up some more trouble with the Bates family, as if their situation wasn't complicated enough.

The last we heard from the "crazy mountain man," he just enlisted the help of both Dylan and Caleb. The pair were to transport a load of illegal guns to Canada, and would be paid the sum of $25,000. Dylan, needing the money to pay for Emma's surgery, accepts the job only to be assaulted by Chick's "partner."

Recently, Executive Producer, Carlton Cuse, sat down with the Calgary Herald, explaining how Norman Bates would be in the coming season. He told the new outlet:

"For the first three seasons of the show, we have watched in a slow, progressive way his development of becoming the guy he is going to become. He was a kid who had blackouts and some issues and stuff. But at the end of the third season of the show, he really becomes unhinged in a different way he had before. That really sets up a different version of the Norman that we know from the movie." Season four will be more exciting as [Norman] is going to be driving the story."

Cuse also said that the new season will be "Norman Unleashed."

There is still no word about the season four's release date but fans need not worry since the show has been renewed until 2017.
