The official Twitter account of the Stranger Things writer finally revealed the runtime of the Season 4 finale. In their Twitter post, they revealed that Season 4 Volume 2 would be slightly shorter than the previous reports with the Season 4 finale having a runtime of 2 hours and 19 minutes.

You can check out their tweet below:

"A lot of it had to do with the fact that we had characters spread out in three locations and we had a lot more plot. It must be quadruple the plot we had in Season 3," Matt Duffer previously said in an interview with TheWrap. "That was our fun blockbuster season. This season we knew that Season 5 was going to be our last, we had to start revealing a lot."

"The more we were writing, the more we realized we need more time in order for these reveals to land, in order for these storylines to work," Matt noted. "Partway through we knew we needed to ask Netflix for nine episodes instead of eight and as we started shooting we realized, 'Oh these are mega-long episodes.'"

As for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, showrunner David Harbour was recently interviewed by Variety and teased what’s to come in the final season of the show.

"I think it varies from person to person, from character to character, and I'm such a harassment specialist that I think I've gotten it out of them. It's been back and forth about like, 'What happens to Hopper? Is he a character that's able to survive Hawkins or does he die?'" Harbour said during the interview. "I know what happens and it's quite moving and quite beautiful."
