Season 5 Volume 1 episode runtimes
TheWrap reported these durations in October 2025, attributing the list to Ross Duffer. They are reported episode runtimes, not independently measured timings.
| Episode | Reported runtime |
|---|---|
| “The Crawl” | 1 hour, 8 minutes |
| “The Vanishing of …” | 54 minutes |
| “The Turnbow Trap” | 1 hour, 6 minutes |
| “Sorcerer” | 1 hour, 23 minutes |
Netflix Tudum lists the first four titles as the episodes in Volume 1. Its title page leaves Episode 2 as “The Vanishing of …”; the full title was withheld there, so it is not expanded in this list. Netflix Tudum’s Season 5 guide also describes the season as the fifth and final season, with three episodes in Volume 2 and a standalone finale.
Which episode is longest, and which is shortest?
“Sorcerer,” Episode 4, is longest at 83 minutes. Episode 2, “The Vanishing of …,” is shortest at 54 minutes. The four reported durations add up to 271 minutes, or 4 hours and 31 minutes.
