Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers have teased the season 5 finale, admitting it will be pretty long.

The show’s recent season 4 finale lasted a massive two hours and 22 minutes, and the pair have revealed that the show’s final-ever episode will be “at least two hours”.

“The only reason we don’t expect it to be as long is because if you look at it, it’s almost a two-hour ramp-up before our kids really get drawn into the supernatural mystery,” Matt Duffer told Happy Sad Confused.

“You get to know them, you get to see them in their lives, what they’re struggling with, adapting to high school, and so forth. Steve’s trying to find a date, all of that. None of that obviously is going to be occurring in the first two episodes of [season 5].”

He added: “For the first time ever, we don’t wrap things up at the end of [season] 4, so it’s going to be moving. I don’t know that it’s going to be going 100 miles an hour at the start of 5, but it’s going to be moving pretty fast.

“Characters are already going to be in action. They’re already going to have a goal and a drive, and I think that’s going to carve out at least a couple hours and make this season feel really different.”

They also compared it to Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, joking it may have “like, eight endings”, and that the season will be set entirely in Hawkins.

“We wanna go back to a lot of the things we did in season 1,” Matt added. “A lot of the original groupings and pairings that we had in season 1 – there’s something nice about coming full circle.”

As for writing the season, Ross said: “It’s dangerous as a writer to be writing hours and hours and not know where you’re going. I’d rather leave some of that middle journey vague and fuzzy.

“But so long as you know where that destination is, it sort of gives you that clarity. It’s like that lighthouse blinking in the distance… while a lot of season 5 is actually pretty blurry, the last 30 minutes of it are pretty clear in our heads.

“So if we can make the journey entertaining, I think that we have an end that will hopefully satisfy. You can’t satisfy everyone, but the hope is that it’s something that feels right for this story.”

Stranger Things seasons 1-4 are now streaming worldwide on Netflix.
