I’ve been emotionally invested in the world of Panem since Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games books first hit the shelves and introduced me to the trials of Katniss Everdeen. The world was stunningly brought to life on screen over a decade ago, but I’m happy to say this world isn’t done expanding. After the success of the prequel, Battle of Songbirds and Snakes, in 2023, another HG film was reported to be in the mix. Now, Maya Hawke confirms t the latest prequel film, titled Sunrise on the Reaping, is nearing the end of production, and I genuinely can’t wait!
Via a recent Instagram post, Hawke shared a behind-the-scenes look at the Sunrise on the Reaping. The clip shows the actress goofing off near the trailers and getting ready for her close up in the makeup trailer. Hawke is set to play Wiress, a character who is also depicted as an older woman in Catching Fire. Hawke made sure to thank the team of creatives working on the 2026 movie schedule entry and suggested fans have a lot to look forward to in the new installment. See her post below:
