A screener-style Instagram video lists lengths and titles for the first four chapters, with later episodes still under wraps.

Overview

  • The first four episodes run 1:08 (Chapter One: The Crawl), 0:54 (Chapter Two, title partially concealed), 1:06 (Chapter Three: The Turnbow Trap), and 1:23 (Chapter Four: Sorcerer).
  • Duffer’s post directly counters viral claims and a Puck report that suggested every episode would run 90 minutes to two hours.
  • Volume 1 debuts November 26, Volume 2 arrives December 25 with three episodes, and the standalone series finale streams December 31.
  • Outlets calculate the combined runtime of Volume 1 at approximately 4 hours and 31 minutes based on the posted lengths.
  • Episode 3 is directed by Frank Darabont, highlighted by the creators as a special entry, while runtimes for Volume 2 and the finale remain undisclosed.
