Although the TV Movie BATES MOTEL was not actually a pilot it did spawn the idea of a PSYCHO tv series.
This idea has popped up at universal from time to time for over 20 years.
After the BATES MOTEL aired it was obvious there was no way to do a series. It would be just like the love boat with f list stars popping in and out. Saving a Jamie lee Curtis apperance for the big season finale.

No one since has found a good working formula. I'd be interested to find out the genius who pitched this idea.

I'll never happen. If i'm wrong and it does... It'll never work.
