Rumour Roundup: Hour-Long Episodes… Or Feature-Length Films?
Recently, a widely circulated screenshot—complete with a faux “Property of Netflix” watermark—claimed all eight episodes of Stranger Things 5 would clock in at over two hours, with the finale allegedly pushing three hours. Despite the fervent buzz online—co‑creator Ross Duffer swiftly quashed the speculation as wildly exaggerated. Then, in an Instagram Story debunking a viral chart, he quipped, “lol not even close to accurate,” clarifying that the purported runtimes, complete with a “Property of Netflix” watermark, hold no truth.
With the stage set, the final season is shaping up to be Stranger Things at its most thrilling, heartfelt, and cinematic. So, buckle up: Hawkins faces its ultimate reckoning starting November 26, 2025.
