Netflix invented the ‘binge watch’ – now it must die

21 February, 2022

The fourth season of Stranger Things is to be a blockbuster of two halves. The much anticipated, pandemic-waylaid Stranger Things 4 will arrive as a dastardly double whammy, with Volume One debuting May 27 and Volume 2 arriving an eternity (that is, five weeks) later on July 1, Netflix has announced. 

According to the show’s sibling creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, the split is to accommodate the unprecedented running time of the new episodes, which clock in at “almost twice the length of any previous season”. In other words, the supernatural adventures of Millie Bobby Brown’s Eleven really do go up to 11 this time.
