The rest of the season is not uniformly movie-length: episode runtimes reported from Ross Duffer’s Instagram post range from 54 minutes to 1 hour 23 minutes for Episodes 1–7.
How long is each Stranger Things 5 episode?
The runtimes for Episodes 1–7 below were reported by What’s on Netflix, which attributed them to co-creator Ross Duffer’s Instagram post. Netflix’s official Tudum gives the finale’s runtime as 2 hours and 5 minutes.
| Episode | Title | Runtime | Source and status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | “The Crawl” | 1 hour 8 minutes | Reported by What’s on Netflix from Duffer’s Instagram post |
| 2 | “The Vanishing of Holly Wheeler” | 54 minutes | Reported by What’s on Netflix from Duffer’s Instagram post |
| 3 | “The Turnbow Trap” | 1 hour 6 minutes | Reported by What’s on Netflix from Duffer’s Instagram post |
| 4 | “Sorcerer” | 1 hour 23 minutes | Reported by What’s on Netflix from Duffer’s Instagram post |

| 7 | “The Bridge” | 1 hour 6 minutes | Reported by What’s on Netflix from Duffer’s Instagram post |
| 8 | “The Rightside Up” | 2 hours 5 minutes | Official Netflix Tudum runtime |
Why the finale runtime is reported as both 2:05 and 2:08
What’s on Netflix reported the finale at 2 hours and 8 minutes, while Netflix Tudum states that it runs 2 hours and 5 minutes. For the definitive figure, use Netflix’s official runtime; the 2-hour-8-minute number is a conflicting secondary report, not the official figure.
