Collins’ best-selling series, which has been adapted into a successful film franchise, reportedly has a fifth book that is set 40 years after the events of the most recent story, “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” which was made into a movie and released last year. This book serves as a prequel to the original trilogy. On March 18, 2025, “Sunrise on the Reaping” is scheduled for release.
The author Suzzane Collins, opened up about the concept, she said “With ‘Sunrise on the Reaping,’ I was inspired by David Hume’s idea of implicit submission and, in his words, ‘the easiness with which the many are governed by the few.” Collins told the AP, “The story also lent itself to a deeper dive into the use of propaganda and the power of those who control the narrative. The question ‘Real or not real?’ seems more pressing to me every day.”

Sunrise on the Reaping will take place 40 years after The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and 24 years before The Hunger Games trilogy events. The narrative will begin on the morning of the Second Quarter Quell, the 50th Hunger Games. The story’s protagonist will be Woody Harrelson’s character, Haymitch Abernathy, from the movies. In the 74th Hunger Games, Josh Hutcherson’s Peeta and Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss receive mentorship from Haymitch.

The Hunger Games Movies Box Office
The film franchise has grossed over $3.3 billion worldwide, with Catching Fire earning the most with $865 million. Despite falling short of the original story, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was profitable because of its limited budget. The film centered on a young Coriolanus Snow, who would go on to become the despotic ruler of Panem.
