And their numbers are a little different than what’s been reported by some outlets.
The network put out the official run time for all six episodes in season 8 along with their air dates.
Here they are:
Season 8, episode 1
Debut date: SUNDAY, APRIL 14 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT)
Estimated running time: 0:54
Season 8, episode 2
Debut date: SUNDAY, APRIL 21 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT)
Estimated running time: 0:58
Season 8, episode 3
Debut date: SUNDAY, APRIL 28 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT)
Estimated running time: 1:22
Season 8, episode 4
Debut date: SUNDAY, MAY 5 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT)
Estimated running time: 1:18
Season 8, episode 5
Debut date: SUNDAY, MAY 12 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT)
Estimated running time: 1:20
Season 8, episode 6
Debut date: SUNDAY, MAY 19 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT)
Estimated running time: 1:20
Those last four are clocking in at about 2 hours each avg, so really given normal seasons were avg 50 minutes per episode this will be about the same run time as the old 10 episode seasons were.
I personally like the idea of getting it faster too.
They could have combined the first two and just made it five-two hour episodes and I'd have been good with that as well lol.
