It's been a while since we've heard or seen anything from 'Bates Motel' season 2, but with 2014 on the horizon, the A&E prequel drama has officially started taking reservations. The rainy first photo of the season has emerged, but whose funeral might we be seeing at the start of 'Bates Motel' season 2?

Via Entertainment Weekly, The first photo of the season takes a rain-soaked approach to Miss Watson's funeral, highlighting Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore), Norma (Vera Farmiga) and Dylan (Max Thieriot) under an umbrella for the somber ceremony. The first season finale certainly made it look as if Norman did the deed, but as we'll discover, things aren't quite so clean cut.

Elsewhere, we know of a major trio of new guest stars checking in for ‘Bates Motel’ season 2, including ‘Alias’ star Michael Vartan as a new love interest for Norma, ‘Hung’ star Rebecca Creskoff as Norma’s first real female friend Christine, and ‘Sons of Anarchy‘ vet Kenny Johnson as Norma’s estranged and abusive brother Caleb. ‘Boss‘ star Kathleen Robertson has been announced for a mysterious new role, and ‘Percy Jackson‘ star Paloma Kwiatkowski will portray a new love interest for Norman, while ‘Transformers‘ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy‘ star Michael O’Neill will play Miss Watson's vengeful father.

Take a look at the first full photo of 'Bates Motel' season 2 below, and tell us in the comments if you'll be booking a 2014 stay!
