(+) Yeah! (+)

Beware some spoilers in the article, I'll just post the part that's relevant to the topic title:

I've released two movies in the time we've been making Season 4, Levy notes. We have multiple episodes that are longer than both Free Guy and The Adam Project."

For the record, Free Guy is the longer of the two at 1 hr 55 min.

That sounds like they'll actually be painful to get through.

I hope it bombs

I'm not worried tbh, I'll just think of those as dual episodes. It's gonna have 7 eps, let's say 3 of them are 2 hours, that's just a regular 10 episode season.

And it's the final season so it kinda makes sense for it to be a bit longer.

This is the coda for Netflix

It's going to have 9, and it's the penultimate season, not the last one.

Oh nevermind, the 5th is the final one.

Yeah if Netflix is going to dump all their episodes at once, theres no real reason to arbitrarily cut a longer arc into multiple episodes

At this rate, Season 5 may be on HBO Max.

Thought it was doing what other shows like Ozark is doing and splitting one season into 2 parts.

Am I the only one who doesn't give a shit about Stranger Things? I didn't even think the first season was all that good either. It's a nice nostalgia kickback, but the hype made it sound like it was going to be on House of Cards level (season 1 anyway). I understood the hype around Squid Games, but I just can't get behind Stranger Things.

They are, they're just doing it for the 2nd to last season and not the last. Well, they might do it for the last. >_>

Every episode is over an hour, and episode 7 will be over 2 and a half hours

I think its gotten better every season, so Im looking forward to it

It's episode 9 that will be 2 and a half hours, but yes:

Furthermore, Netflix confirmed that the finale will be longer than some movies. In a post on Netflixs Tudum companion site, the streaming platform revealed its impressively long finale will clock in at nearly two and a half hours.

For the real geeks out there, Episode 407 is 1 hour, 38 minutes; Episode 408 is around 1 hour, 25 minutes; and 409 is almost two and a half hours, the post reads.

Forget some movies, this shit is gonna be longer than most movies.

Why didnt they just.ya know. Break them up into episodes like it already is?
