WandaVision: Longer episode runtimes are expected

Ayman Hossain February 16, 2021

WandaVision is currently the most popular TV Show airing with three more episodes yet to air. With high fan approval and critic points, the first Marvel Disney+ show has reached a position Marvel has never been to. Fans are still frustrated with its half hour episode runtime. But now it seems their wish may come true.

Fans have been begging for hour-long episodes as the sitcom show is finally at its end. During production period, WandaVision director Matt Shakman reported that the story-line would be roughly six hours (via Collider). But he didn't mention if the six hours will be full story content or the six hours will include the ending credits.

If we do the math, we have seen a total of almost 215 minutes of WandaVision averaging roughly 36 minutes an episode. This means, there are still 145 minutes of the show yet to be aired which averages 50 minutes per episode. But if we cut off the ending credits, we get around 2 hours of more content for the last three episodes.

But Director Shakman didn't reveal if the show will be six hours including the credits and other stuffs or six hours only story content. If we exclude the credits, WandaVision has a runtime of almost 170 minutes, which means there remains more than 3 hours of story content for the future episodes and more action packed MCU drama.

As you have noticed, the episodes seem to have an increased runtime every week, except for episode 4. So if we take these into the matter, it seems that we will get episodes with almost an hour of runtime in the next episodes. The finale episode could be the longest one with more than an hour of runtime.

WandaVision seventh episode will air this Friday, February 19, on Disney+. New episodes will be available to stream every Friday at 12 am midnight PT.
