'Stranger Things' Ain't A Series Anymore
Fans have reacted with surprise to the substantial runtime of the long-awaited final episodes of 'Stranger Things', as the popular series approaches its epic conclusion.
After months of silence, there is finally clarity regarding the runtime of the final episodes of Stranger Things. The series is approaching its conclusion, and the precise length of the remaining episodes has now been confirmed by co-creator Ross Duffer himself.
The first four episodes of the fifth season appeared on November 26. This is followed by the second part of the season with another three episodes on Christmas Day. The grand finale is saved for December 31. Ross Duffer shared on Instagram that episode five, titled Shock Jock, lasts 1 hour and 8 minutes. Episode six, Escape from Camazotz, clocks in at 1 hour and 15 minutes. The penultimate episode, The Bridge, is slightly shorter at 1 hour and 6 minutes.
The series concludes with episode eight: The Rightside Up. It lasts a staggering 2 hours and 8 minutes, making it the longest of the season. The rumor that all episodes would last between 90 and 120 minutes turns out to be incorrect. That speculation arose partly due to the long episodes of season 4, of which the finale The Piggyback even lasted 2 hours and 22 minutes.
The longer runtime of season 4 led to much discussion on social media at the time. In season 5, the creators seem to consciously return to slightly shorter episodes, with the exception of the very last one.
Stranger Things was created by Ross and Matt Duffer. They produce the series together with Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen under the banner of Upside Down Pictures and 21 Laps Entertainment. With the finale in sight, one of the most popular titles in Netflix's catalog is coming to an end.
