The fifth season of Stranger Things will be the show’s final season and we have a feeling it’s going to be epic.

The Duffer Bros told the Happy Sad Confused podcast that the episodes will not be as long in season five.

Season five will likely pick up from where the season four finale left off.

They said, “The only reason we don’t expect to be as long is, this season, if you look at it, it’s almost a two-hour ramp up before our kids really get drawn into a supernatural mystery.

“I’m sure the wrap-up will be a lot longer, it’s going to be Return of the King-ish with, like, eight endings.”
