Executive producer Carlton Cuse told reporters on a conference call that the finale “moves the overall narrative a big step forward,” and that viewers will “find out more about Norman’s real culpability in the Miss Watson case.”
“There are some bad things that loom ahead for Norma and Norman, but I think it would actually rob the audience of the journey to be too specific about how we’re going to play [the story ahead],” he said, according to CarterMatt.
Freddie Highmore (Norman) added that the other characters will soon have to face whether or not they want to continue to support his actions.
