New Hunger Games Prequel: 'Sunrise on the Reaping' Coming in 2026!

Exciting news for Hunger Games fans! A new prequel, 'Sunrise on the Reaping,' is set to be released in 2026, following Suzanne Collins' announcement of her upcoming novel slated for 2025. After the success of 'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,' which grossed $337 million at the box office, Lionsgate is ready to bring another captivating story to the screen.

'Sunrise on the Reaping' takes us back 24 years before the original Hunger Games saga, starting on the morning of the reaping for the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell. This pivotal event features a young Haymitch Abernathy, who would later mentor Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. Woody Harrelson brilliantly portrayed Haymitch in the original series, bringing depth to this complex character.

As we eagerly await more details, one thing is certain: this prequel promises to delve deeper into the rich lore of Panem. Will you be lining up for 'Sunrise on the Reaping'? Share your thoughts and excitement in the comments below!

Seriously too excited for the drop of this novel. I can still remember clamoring to the bookstore the day Song Birds and Snakes hit the shelves. I cant help but wonder who they will cast for the live action adaptation ❤❤❤

[HiddenUsersMeaning]

Honestly me and my friend were saying no less than 2 weeks ago how we’d both love to see hamitches game brought to screen now seeing the new book and movie plastered all over my YouTube I’m so excited 🫶 Hopefully it focuses more on the game this time rather than the districts and capital

[widlinebruno]

After this all we need is a sequel of the hunger games

[Aimes_GOTH]

I honestly hope it shows how the capital evolved into the “over the top” look for people and the high tech stuff

[Angel_halo]

They made an error in the book, it said the 15th games where the quaternquell in the book but in catching fire it says every 25 years
