Songbirds And Snakes Writer Defends Lucy Gray Baird’s Ambiguous Ending

Rachel Zegler in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

SPOILERS lie ahead for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. 

When the ending of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes unravels, the origins of Tom Blyth’s Coriolanus Snow may be fleshed out, but Rachel Zegler’s Lucy Gray Baird disappears into the forest, without much closure regarding her fate. Does the District 12 tribute get caught by a Peacemaker and become another victim in Panem, or does she successfully escape with her Covey and quietly live the life of her dreams on the outskirts of the dystopian country? We just don't know. Now, one of the prequel’s screenwriters has shed light on why the creative team decided to keep Lucy’s fate ambiguous.
