‘Stranger Things 5’ Runtimes Revealed for First Four Episodes
The rumors of the runtimes for Season 5 of “Stranger Things” have been greatly exaggerated.
Ross Duffer, who co-created the Netflix juggernaut with his brother Matt Duffer, revealed the length of the first four episodes for the final season of the show on his Instagram account on Monday. The Season 5 premiere, “The Crawl,” will run for one hour and 8 minutes; Episode 2 (with a title that has yet to be full revealed) will run 54 minutes; Episode 3, “The Turnbow Trap,” will run one hour and 6 minutes; and Episode 4, “Sorcerer,” will run one hour and 23 minutes.
The post refutes viral social media posts that have claimed that every episode of Season 5 were at least 90 minutes long, as well as a Puck News report from Oct. 6 that the episodes “run from 90 minutes to two hours long.”
After running almost entirely at or under an hour since the show premiered in 2016, “Stranger Things” Season 4 expanded significantly: All but one episode ran over 70 minutes, and the final three episodes were all feature length, with the finale clocking in at two hours and 22 minutes.
More to come.
