The Duffer brothers already said when they announced the premiere date for season 4 of ‘Stranger Things’ that it was going to be bigger than normal. More than eight hundred pages of script were written for the nine episodes that will make up the return of Once and the others to Netflix. It was going to be a great season, very great. In duration it is clear that they will have little competition.
Netflix itself revealed a few days ago that the last three chapters of the season were going to be extra-long, especially the last one, which will be about two and a half hours. But it will not be the only one that will last more like a movie than a chapter. Now that the press has been able to have access to the first six episodes, and that we already knew from the streaming platform how long the last three will last, This is how the fourth season of ‘Stranger Things’ remains in terms of duration:
Volume 1
Chapter 1, ‘The Hellfire Club’: 1 hour 16 minutes
Chapter 2, ‘Vecna’s Curse’: 1 hour 17 minutes
Chapter 3, ‘The Monster and the Superhero’: 1 hour 3 minutes
Chapter 4, ‘Dear Billy’: 1 hour 17 minutes
Chapter 5, ‘The Nina Project’: 1 hour 14 minutes
Chapter 6, ‘The Dive’: 1 hour 13 minutes
Chapter 7, ‘The Massacre at Hawkins Lab’: 1 hour 38 minutes
volume 2
Chapter 8, ‘Papa’: 1 hour 25 minutes
Chapter 9, ‘The Piggyback’: 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.)
Altogether we are talking about more than 12 hours of season, which we remember will be released in two volumes. The first will premiere on the streaming platform on May 27 and will be made up of the first seven chapters. The second will do it on July 1 and will only contain two episodes. But the last one is long enough to count for two. The season will not only take place in Hawkins but also in California and Russia, with the protagonists divided into different plots.
The most expensive season
The season has also had a higher budget than usual. The Wall Street Journal claims that Netflix has shelled out $30 million per episode, double what HBO spent per episode on the last season of ‘Game of Thrones’. We would be talking about 270 million dollars for the entire season. It is true that, in addition to the scale of a series like ‘Stranger Things’, the production had to adapt to the harshest moments of the coronavirus pandemic, triggering expenses in protocol, tests and protective equipment. Added to the new locations, visual effects and the cache of the cast, we easily put ourselves in those figures that sound exorbitant a priori.
‘Stranger Things’ begins its fourth season with the first volume on May 27 on Netflix and you can now read our review.
