And by the way, fans love each and every one of them. To give them their due episode over episode, it just means the episodes need to expand to fit them. That was really what drove a lot of the length this season, the fact that we have an amazing ensemble that everybody cares about, and we want to make sure that we\u2019re delivering on each and every one of those stories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a lot to wrap up in season 5, and Netflix saying goodbye to its flagship hit sci-fi show (at least until its inevitable spinoffs), we can probably expect to spend some quality time with the <em>Stranger Things<\/em> gang during the holiday season, but unlike in the theater, where a long movie runtime means there&#8217;s a possibility of missing important stuff when you have to hit the bathroom, the beauty of streaming means that the trusty pause button will always have your back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good news, everyone!
