‘Stranger Things 5’ episode runtimes revealed for first four episodes, Duffer Brothers debunk rumors

Washington, Oct 14 (UNI) The Stranger Things fandom can finally stop speculating about the marathon-length episodes.
According to Variety, series co-creator Ross Duffer has officially revealed the runtimes for the first four episodes of the highly anticipated fifth and final season of the Netflix hit, and they’re not as long as rumored.
Posting on Instagram, Duffer confirmed that the Season 5 premiere, titled “The Crawl,” will run 1 hour and 8 minutes. Episode 2, whose full title remains under wraps, clocks in at 54 minutes.
Episode 3, “The Turnbow Trap,” runs 1 hour and 6 minutes, and Episode 4, “Sorcerer,” will be 1 hour and 23 minutes long.

Since its 2016 debut, Stranger Things mostly kept its episodes under the one-hour mark until Season 4, which saw expanded runtimes and a feature-length finale lasting two hours and 22 minutes.
Netflix will roll out Stranger Things 5 in three separate drops, The first four episodes arrive November 26, over Thanksgiving weekend, with “Sorcerer” serving as the mid-season finale.
The next three episodes will premiere on Christmas Day, and the series finale, “The Rightside Up,” will debut on New Year’s Eve.
