If you were hoping to squeeze in an episode of Stranger Things, think again. Hawkins is officially in its era of long goodbyes, and Netflix is making sure you feel every second of it.

Ross Duffer, who co-created the series with brother Matt, has now revealed the official runtimes for Volume 2 of Stranger Things Season 5 — and yes, the final stretch is very much movie-length territory.
