Her
casting was revealed Friday at the Comic-Con International convention
in San Diego, where the cast and crew of the show held a panel
discussion.
The show's official Twitter account tweeted a video of the singer announcing the role.
"I am about to check into the Bates Motel very soon," she said. "Guess what else? Guess who's playing Marion?"
"Bates Motel" is a prequel to the
classic 1960 horror film "Psycho," directed by Alfred Hitchcock. In the
movie, Marion Crane -- played by the late actress Janet Leigh -- meets
her death in a bloody shower scene.
The
TV series, which airs on the cable network A&E, explores the
relationship between Norman Bates and his mother Norma, who run the
motel in the remote seaside town of White Pine Bay, Oregon.
While
Rihanna is best known for hit songs including "Work," "Umbrella" and
"What's My Name," the 28-year-old Barbadian also has a number of acting
gigs under her belt, having appeared in films such as "Battleship" and
"This is the End."
Her role in the
fifth and final season of "Bates Motel" will see her star alongside Vera
Farmiga, Freddie Highmore, Max Thieriot, Olivia Cooke and Nestor
Carbonell.
