Suzanne Collins, the author of "The Hunger Games," is crafting a new book titled "Sunrise on the Reaping," set for release in 2025. This book will be adapted into a film scheduled to hit theaters on November 20, 2026. Francis Lawrence, who has directed every Hunger Games film since "Catching Fire," is in talks to direct this new installment.

Storyline

"Sunrise on the Reaping" is set 24 years before the original trilogy and 40 years after "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes." The plot begins on the morning of the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell. The central character will be Haymitch Abernathy, who was portrayed by Woody Harrelson in the previous films. In the original series, Haymitch mentors Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) during the 74th Hunger Games.
