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.

Laura McKenna’s pick for the best sunscreen
This is a great example of “Do as I say, not as I do.” Yesterday, I planted my garden and I didn’t use any sunscreen. Today, I’ve turned into a juicy red tomato. Ugh! And I know better! May 27th is National Sunscreen Day for a reason. While I do love soaking up sunshine’s Vitamin […]
