Sunrise on the Reaping is the fifth Hunger Games novel by Suzanne Collins, and a prequel to the main series, taking place 14 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute. The new film’s plot follows Haymitch Abernathy (Joseph Zada), as he is reaped to be a tribute for District 12 during the 50th Hunger Games (also known as the Second Quarter Quell), along with Maysilee Donner (Mckenna Grace), Wyatt Callow (Ben Wang), and Louella McCoy (Molly McCann). While the main Hunger Games novels shared bits of detail about what happened in Haymitch’s games, Sunrise on the Reaping retells the entire story, and shows how the Capitol has altered and edited events in order to continue the propaganda and lies that it feeds to its citizens.
The film adapts Collins’ latest novel and reunites director Francis Lawrence with producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson. The screenplay is written by Billy Ray, who also adapted Collins’ original novel for the big screen.
The cast of The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping includes Zada as Haymitch Abernathy, Whitney Peak as Lenore Dove Baird, Grace as Maysilee Donner, Jesse Plemons as Plutarch Heavensbee, Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Beetee Latier, Maya Hawke as Wiress, Lili Taylor as Mags Flanagan, Wang as Wyatt Callow, Ralph Fiennes as Coriolanus Snow, McCann as Louella McCoy, Iona Bell as Lou Lou, Elle Fanning as Effie Trinket, Kieran Culkin as Caesar Flickerman, Glenn Close as Drusilla Sickle, and Billy Porter as Magno Stift.
The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping will hit theaters on November 20, 2026 by Lionsgate.
