Hunger Games fans can mark their calendars for November 20th, 2026. That’s when The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping will be released in movie theaters. The new prequel book centers on Haymitch (played in all the previous movies by Woody Harrelson) but casting hasn’t been released just yet for the movie.
The book so far has sold over 1.5 million copies so, of course, it’s getting the big screen treatment. The plot is listed as: Exploring Panem 24 years before Katniss’ saga, starting on the morning of the reaping for the 50th Hunger Games, where a young Haymitch Abernathy participates.
Want to contact Laura McKenna about your favorite book to the big screen movie? Email anytime, she’d love to hear from you: [email protected]
And tune in weekdays starting at 10am to St. Croix Country & WCFW!
