Fans Finally Know the Exact Runtimes of ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5’s Volume 1 Episodes

by

Okay, so everyone’s been buzzing about how long the first part of *Season 5* will be, and I finally have the answer! Ross Duffer, the show’s creator, has confirmed exactly how much time we’ll need to block off when Volume 1 hits screens on November 26th. Get ready to head back to Hawkins – you’ll want to know this!

The creators, the Duffer brothers, have stated that the final season won’t be quite as long as the previous one, which featured episodes nearing two and a half hours. However, fans still expected lengthy episodes for this last chapter. Now, the speculation can end – it’s time to prepare for the release, and likely, to debate whether each episode is the right length.

  • Episode 1: “The Crawl” — 1 hour, 8 minutes
  • Episode 2: “The Vanishing of [Redacted]” — 54 minutes
  • Episode 3: “The Turnbow Trap” — 1 hour, 6 minutes
  • Episode 4: “Sorcerer” — 1 hour, 23 minutes

Volume 1 will be over four and a half hours long, so viewers might want to watch it quickly to avoid spoilers. If you don’t mind waiting, the next episodes won’t be released until Christmas, with the series finale airing on New Year’s Eve.

‘Stranger Things‘ Could Be Netflix’s Most Expensive Show To Date

While Ross Duffer recently debunked some rumors about the show, he hasn’t commented on reports that the upcoming fifth season of *Stranger Things* might be Netflix’s most expensive season yet.

A recent report in *Puck* revealed that the final episodes of the show may have cost as much as $60 million each to produce, bringing the season’s total cost to around $500 million. While that’s a huge sum, it’s not entirely unexpected given that many episodes were unusually long and the show relied heavily on special effects.

Netflix is hoping the final season of *Stranger Things* avoids the controversial endings that plagued shows like *Yellowstone* and *Game of Thrones*. A large budget doesn’t guarantee success, but it certainly helps. If reports are accurate, *Stranger Things* Season 5 will be visually stunning, and a satisfying conclusion could solidify its place as one of the greatest TV shows ever made.
