  • Duffer’s Instagram post lists Episode 1 at 1 hour 8 minutes, Episode 2 at 54 minutes, Episode 3 at 1 hour 6 minutes and Episode 4 at 1 hour 23 minutes.
  • Confirmed titles include The Crawl (premiere), The Turnbow Trap (Episode 3) and Sorcerer (Episode 4), with Episode 2’s title not yet disclosed.
