As we draw closer to the final season of “Stranger Things,” we’re getting more clues about what to expect from the last eight episodes.

Ross Duffer, who co-created the show with his brother Matt Duffer, revealed the official runtimes and some titles for the first four episodes.

“The Crawl,” the season 5 premiere episode, will be one hour and 8 minutes, Episode 2, which appears to be titled in part “The Vanishing,” will be 54 minutes long, the third episode, “The Turnbow Trap,” will be one hour and 6 minutes, and the fourth episode, “Sorcerer,” will be one hour and 23 minutes.

The reveal contradicts early rumors that each episode of the show’s final season would run anywhere from 90 minutes to two hours.

The internet speculation wasn’t completely unfounded, since most episodes from Season 4 were over 70 minutes in length, with the finale clocking in at a whopping two hours and 22 minutes.

“Stranger Things” Season 5 is being broken up into three release blocks over the holidays. The first four episodes arrive on November 26, over the Thanksgiving weekend. The next three episodes premiere on Christmas, followed by the finale, titled “The Rightside Up,” on New Year’s Eve.

All your favorites are back, including Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery and Maya Hawke.

We can’t wait to find out the fate of Hawkins, Indiana (and maybe the world?) when these episodes drop!
