The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was only the beginning.
It’s been almost a decade since Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen hung up her bow and arrow in Mockingjay — Part 2, the fiery conclusion to the Hunger Games saga. Back in 2015, no one had any idea that Suzanne Collins’ dystopian story could continue. But the author surprised many by publishing the first of what could be many prequels five years later. Lionsgate, the producers of every film in the Hunger Games franchise, didn’t waste any time greenlighting an adaptation of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes — and with yet another prequel out in the world, it’s time to return to Panem once more. Here’s everything we know about Lionsgate’s upcoming adaptation of The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.
