Season 5 of Stranger Things Won’t Be As Long As The Fourth One: Duffer Brothers
The Duffer Brothers recently gave an interview to Collider.com and revealed that their intention is to keep the run time of the fifth season closer to the ten-hour mark.
“We thought Season 4 was going to be eight [episodes], and they were going to be regular length. So if you had interviewed us before four, that’s what I would’ve said. I think we’re aiming for eight again. We don’t want it to be 13 hours. We’re aiming for more like 10 hours or something. I think it’s going to be longer than Season 1 because we just have so much to wrap up, but I don’t think it’s going to be as long as Season 4.”
“This season, for instance, it was two hours before our characters even realized the monster was killing people in Hawkins. They know what the threat is now, and so that will help speed it up.”
Nonetheless, fans of the show are excited for the fifth season which promises to be quite entertaining regardless of the run time of the whole season. What do you think about this revelation by the Duffer Brothers? Let us know your opinion in the comments section below.
