It might have been three years since we last saw Eleven, Mike and the rest of the Hawkins gang, but judging by the length of the upcoming episodes in Stranger Things season 4<\/a>, the show is about to make up for lost time.<\/p>\n

While the first three seasons consisted of either eight or nine episodes, season 4 will be released in two volumes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first volume, featuring the first seven episodes of the season, will land on Netflix on 27th May, while the final two episodes will follow in July.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s not the only change. While the first three seasons were made up of episodes with runtimes mostly under an hour, the episodes for the forthcoming season have much heftier runtimes (to say the least!).<\/p>\n

The first eight episodes in Stranger Things season 4 all exceed the hour-long mark, while the finale \u2013 at two-and-a-half hours long \u2013 is basically the ideal length for a blockbuster movie.<\/p>

Speaking about the upcoming season, Joe Keery \u2013 who plays Steve Harrington on the show\u00a0\u2013 previously told\u00a0 RadioTimes.com<\/a>\u00a0and other press that there\u2019s \u201cdefinitely more than an hour for each episode\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonally, I feel like it\u2019s one story,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s how we all read it, I think. But I think just because of the scope of the show is so large, it makes sense that this season is split into two different parts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, new cast member Joseph Quinn, who plays Eddie Munson in season 4, added: \u201cThe scale of the whole thing [is massive].<\/p>\n

\u201cI think, conceptually, I\u2019m looking forward to people seeing it. It\u2019s just so much bigger and darker, and I think that people aren\u2019t really going to expect it.\u201d<\/p>\n
