The Hunger Games‘ next movie, Sunrise on the Reaping, is exciting, but the story’s focus will break a franchise tradition that could end up hurting the prequel’s potential. 2025’s Sunrise on the Reaping will mark the fifth novel in Suzanne Collins’ dystopian series, with a movie adaptation already slated for November 2026. After the success of four Hunger Games movies between 2012 and 2015, Lionsgate greenlit The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, the prequel based on Collins’ 2020 novel. While some may have expected a Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes sequel, the franchise decided to go in another prequel direction.
