Stranger Things 2, the second season of Netflix's wildly popular mystery-horror hit, is out now. All nine episodes are available on the streaming service, as is the standard case with any scripted Netflix original. Alongside, Netflix has also released an after-show called Beyond Stranger Things, where cast members, producers, and co-creators the Duffer Brothers sit down to talk about the new season.
Stranger Things 2 review
If you're wondering whether the new season of Stranger Things is worth the hype, we've got a detailed spoiler-free review for you. We loved most of what we saw, including the standalone arcs for the core gang, especially Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), as well as the heavier amount of action, thanks to the new "shadow monster".
Stranger Things 2 episode titles
Ross and Matt Duffer, who have written and directed some episodes, had tweaked certain episode titles to avoid spoilers, but we now have access to the full list. Here are the episode names of Stranger Things 2:
Stranger Things 2 runtime
For those who're trying to binge-watch the entire season over the weekend, you'll want to know how long Stranger Things season 2 is. The total runtime is 458 minutes, or 7 hours and 38 minutes. You shouldn't have a problem squeezing in the full season over two days.
Beyond Stranger Things
The Stranger Things after show is unlike other after shows since the episodes don't air weekly. Plus, there are only seven episodes for the after show, compared to nine for the new season. Netflix says you should watch Beyond Stranger Things only once you've completed Stranger Things 2, so you can bet that there are spoilers along the way.
It's hosted by actor Jim Rash, best known for playing Dean Craig Pelton on Community. Episodes of Beyond Stranger Things range from 17-25 minutes in length.
