Stranger Things<\/em><\/a> co-creator Ross Duffer has confirmed the run times for the final four episodes of the series.<\/p>\n Episodes five, six and seven will drop on Netflix at 5pm PT on Christmas Day (1am on Boxing Day in the UK), while the finale follows on New Year\u2019s Eve at the same time (1am on New Years Day in the UK).<\/p>\n The final episodes in length are fairly similar to those of the first half of the season, which arrived on Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n As per Ross Duffer\u2019s Instagram, episode five, \u2018Shock Jock\u2019, will run for one hour and eight minutes, while episode six, \u2018Escape From Camazotz\u2019 runs for one hour and 15 minutes. Episode seven, \u2018The Bridge\u2019, lasts one hour and six minutes and series finale \u2018The Rightside Up\u2019 is two hours and seven minutes long. This is now slightly shorter than season four\u2019s two-hour-22-minute finale \u2018The Piggyback\u2019, which remains the show\u2019s longest episode.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n In a four-star review of volume one<\/a>,\u00a0NME\u00a0<\/i>wrote: \u201cPerhaps inevitably, volume one feels a lot like an\u00a0appetiser\u00a0for the rest of the season. But even in piecemeal form,\u00a0Stranger Things\u00a0<\/i>has a flair for epic and emotionally resonant storytelling. After all those years, this smart, big-hearted sci-fi show still has the power to turn your head upside down.\u201d<\/p>\n In other news, Jamie Campbell Bower<\/a> made a surprise appearance last week at the Broadway spinoff The First Shadow.<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n Stranger Things: The First Shadow\u00a0<\/i>is set in 1959 and follows younger versions of Jim Hopper, Bob Newby and Henry Creel, but on this occasion, Campbell Bower showed up as an adult version of Henry, to a rapturous reception from the Broadway audience.<\/p>\n In the scene, the adult Henry comes face-to-face with the young Eleven at Dr. Brenner\u2019s lab.<\/p>\n The First Shadow\u00a0<\/i>premiered in 2023 at London\u2019s Phoenix Theatre<\/a>, with an official synopsis reading:\u00a0\u201cHawkins, 1959: a regular town with regular worries.
