Oscar nominated screenwriter Billy Ray is returning to The Hunger Games franchise and will adapt Suzanne Collins’ upcoming prequel novel The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping for Lionsgate. As previously announced, the studio set a global release of Nov. 20, 2026 for the pic.

The final chapters of "Sunrise of the Reaping" have two major revelations that may change how fans interpret the other "The Hunger Games" books. Here's what to know.

The next entry in the Hunger Games film franchise has a lot of confidence behind the scenes at Lionsgate, and now it's one step closer to completion.

Haymitch was Katniss' mentor in "The Hunger Games," but "Sunrise on the Reaping" shows them to be more connected than readers thought.

Scholastic announced Thursday that Suzanne Collins ‘ new novel in the bestselling Hunger Games series, Sunrise on the Reaping , sold more than 1.5 million world English copies—including print, e-books, and audiobooks—in its first week on sale in the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

The book will be adapted into a 2026 film, and its blockbuster sales suggest that there's still plenty of interest in this franchise.
