Here are the titles and runtimes of volume 2:
Chapter Five: Shock Jock – 1 hour and 8 minutes

The series finale is going to be the longest episode of the final season, running for 2 hours and 8 minutes. Titled Chapter Eight: The Right Side Up, the finale is set be about long as a feature film. So fans who will be watching the finale in the theatres will have the experience of a full-length feature film. However, this is slightly shorter than season 4’s finale, The Piggyback, which was nearly 2 hours and 22 minutes long.

What's the synopsis of Stranger Things season 5?
“The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time,” according to Tudum.
