Lionsgate and Scholastic have just unveiled their plans for a new book and movie, The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The ReapingGET READY FOR A THRILLING NEW CHAPTER IN THE HUNGER GAMES SAGA! Lionsgate and Scholastic have just unveiled their plans for a new book and movie, The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping. Here's everything we know!

A new Hunger Games novel, Sunrise on the Reaping, will be released on March 18, 2025Suzanne Collins announced today that a new Hunger Games novel, Sunrise on the Reaping, will be released on March 18, 2025. 

The new book revolves around the 50th Hunger Games, revisiting Panem 24 years before the events of the original Hunger Games books/films and 40 years after The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. It begins on reaping morning of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell, and the Games won by Haymitch Abernathy.

"The question 'Real or not real?' seems more pressing to me every day."Collins shared her inspiration for Sunrise on the Reaping:

"I was inspired by David Hume's idea of implicit submission and, in his words, 'the easiness with which the many are governed by the few. The story also lent itself to a deeper dive into the use of propaganda and the power of those who control the narrative. The question 'Real or not real?' seems more pressing to me every day."

The film adaptation of The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping is already in the works. Lionsgate announced today that it will be released on November 20, 2026! While the cast is yet to be confirmed, Francis Lawrence, the director of four previous Hunger Games films, is in talks to direct the screen adaptation for Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson's Color Force production company. We're hoping to see the dream team back in action!

Nina Jacobson and Francis Lawrence Suzanne Collins is thrilled about the new project. "From the beginning, Lionsgate has been a wonderful home and partner for the Hunger Games franchise, and I'm very excited to be collaborating with the team as we bring this next story to theaters in 2026," she said.

It feels like Lionsgate understands how much Haymitch's games mean to the fandom: "Suzanne Collins is a master storyteller and our creative north star," said Adam Fogelson, chairman of the studio's motion picture group. "We couldn't be more fortunate than to be guided and trusted by a collaborator whose talent and imagination are so consistently brilliant. The Second Quarter Quell is legendary and looms large over the history of the Games, even into the time of Katniss Everdeen a quarter-century later."
