Everything you need to know about the Stranger Things series finale’s runtime
- Stranger Things season five, volume two has finally landed on our screens, leaving just one more episode until the sci-fi story comes to an end. Netflix released the first four episodes of the season on November 26, and fans were left with a bombshell discovery about Will (Noah Schnapp).
- On Boxing Day, three fresh chapters were released, titled ‘Shock Jock,’ ‘Escape from Camazotz,’ and ‘The Bridge’. This batch revealed that the Upside Down isn’t another dimension like the gang originally believed, it is actually a wormhole.
- Viewers also discovered that Dr. Kay (Linda Hamilton) wants to create more super-powered children, like El (Millie Bobby Brown) and Kali (Linnea Berthelsen). But she needs Henry’s (Jamie Campbell Bower) blood, which is in El’s system.
- As we go into episode eight, titled ‘The Rightside Up’, fans are concerned that El will sacrifice herself to prevent the creation of more psychic children. The future of Hawkins is also still up in the air, but luckily the Duffer Brothers have a feature-length finale episode that should tie up all the loose ends.
- The creators recently confirmed that the series finale will have a runtime of 2 hours and 8 minutes, instead of the previously reported length of 2 hours and 5 minutes.
