Netflix confirms movie-like Stranger Things Season 4 episode runtimes

With a movie's worth of content for each of the final three episodes of Stranger Things this season, Netflix is pulling out all stops. The platform continues to bleed subscribers after an earlier exodus and the worst is still to come. But, despite the recent cancelations, Netflix's coffers are far from empty as the streamer reportedly spent $30 million per episode for Stranger Things this season, which is even higher than HBO's House of the Dragon.

Stranger Things has one final season to go after its fourth outing, and it's unlikely that the budget for the hit TV series will get cheaper. We can only imagine the horror on the faces of those who work over at Netflix's financial department as they live in fear of what The Duffer Brothers could come up next.

In the meantime, Netflix will pray that it gets a temporary reprieve from all the negativity with a series of big releases like Hustle, Stranger Things, and Cobra Kai, among others, all coming in the next few months.
