Stranger Things: Season 4 Finale Runtime Revealed
The second volume of Stranger Things season 4‘s runtime has been finally revealed by its writers. Netflix’s popular series recently released the first part of season four, which had a total of seven episodes, reigniting the love fans have over the insanely popular series.
The second part of Stranger Things will premiere in July and will have two more episodes, including the finale, totaling 9 episodes. The fourth season begins around nine months after what took place at the Starcourt Mall in Hawkins, which left the gang of friends separated while Hopper finds himself in Russia.

With fans anticipating the last two episodes, the stranger writers Twitter handle posted that the Stranger Things season 4 finale will be clocking in at 2 hours and 19 minutes, still shorter than the original time of 2 hours and 30 minutes. However, the show is still longer than many films and is the longest finale of any show thus far.
After a three-year-long wait for season four of Stranger Things, Netflix is lengthening the episodes, and part 2 will not be any exception.
Here is the official announcement on the runtime below for the show:

It looks like Netflix is trying to milk Stranger Things for all they have, especially with their subscriber loss recently and the show’s end altogether. While the fifth season of Stranger Things is likely a few years away, it will certainly be the end of an era for the streamer.
