Stranger Things
Speaking with Collider, Finn Wolfhard confirmed the final season of Stranger Things will have inconsistent episode lengths, with some “40-45 minutes” and others “definitely film length.”
It’s definitely a long season. Not every episode is like a full-blown movie, but there are definitely some episodes this year that the runtime is definitely film-length. When all that adds up, I guess they are like little micro-movies. But there are some episodes that are still 40 minutes, 45 mins.
To end a show that people have been watching for a long time, you want every character to have the best kind of ending. And in order to do that, you have to take the time to do that.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
In a recent interview with Marvel, showrunner Jeff Trammell teased Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will have additional unexpected cameos beyond Charlie Cox’s Daredevil.
Everyone has been super supportive about the stories that we want to tell. What do you mean I can use Charlie Cox’s Daredevil in this show! I didn’t expect you to say yes!
