Sunrise on the Reaping hit bookshelves in March 2025, but fans won’t have to wait long to see the latest Hunger Games prequel get the movie treatment. Lionsgate ordered the movie The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping at the same time author Suzanne Collins announced the book about Haymitch Abernathy was on the way.

Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are expected to reprise their roles as Katniss and Peeta in 'The Hunger Games' prequel 'Sunrise on the Reaping.'

Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are returning for the next "Hunger Games" movie -- "Sunrise on the Reaping" -- set for release Nov. 20, 2026.

That said, I sometimes think Tarantino has some cockamamie hot takes. One recent one concerned Paul Dano being a “weak” actor, and the other concerned his criticisms concerning The Hunger Games, namely that it “ripped off” Battle Royale.
