Turns out all the claims that Season 5 of “Stranger Things” was going to have 90 minutes to two hours long episodes has been exaggerated.
Ross Duffer, who co-created the show with his brother Matt Duffer, revealed the length of the first four episodes for the final season of the show on his Instagram account . 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.
Netflix is breaking up the fifth season of the show into three discrete releases: The first four episodes will premiere on Nov. 26, over the Thanksgiving holiday, with “Sorcerer” serving as a mid-season finale. The next three episodes will premiere on Christmas, and the finale, “The Rightside Up,” will premiere on New Years Eve.
