The Ultimate Fan Experience: Unveiling the Episode Lengths
After much speculation, Duffer has revealed that the season premiere, 'The Crawl', will clock in at a satisfying one hour and eight minutes. Episode 2, titled 'The Vanishing of ____', will be a slightly shorter 54-minute adventure. Episode 3, 'The Turnbow Trap', promises an hour and six minutes of classic 'Stranger Things' magic, while episode 4, 'Sorcerer', will keep viewers on the edge of their seats for a full hour and 23 minutes.
But here's where it gets controversial... Duffer has kept fans guessing about the runtimes of the final four episodes, leaving us with a tantalizing mystery to unravel.
In his social media teasers, Duffer described 'The Crawl' as his favorite and most eventful season opener since Season 1. Episode 2, he hinted, will feature the craziest cold open yet, with a sequence the creators are incredibly proud of. 'The Turnbow Trap' is said to be the most quintessential 'Stranger Things' episode of the season, and it even brought Frank Darabont out of retirement to direct! As for episode 4, Duffer promises a massive finale, as big as any they've ever done, with a logistically insane shoot to match.
The new season will be released in three exciting installments: Volume 1 on November 26 (with four episodes), Volume 2 on Christmas Day (three episodes), and The Finale on New Year's Eve. Get your calendars marked, because this is an event you won't want to miss!
And this is the part most people miss: the stellar cast returning for the final season, including Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, and many more.
