The Hunger Games film franchise releases

Overview

Lionsgate and Fathom Entertainment initiated a limited theatrical event in early September 2026, featuring a five-film franchise run that included the 2015 film ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2’. This event provided audiences with an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming prequel, ‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping’.

Following the theatrical event, Lionsgate released subsequent trailers for the prequel, which is directed by Francis Lawrence and based on the novel by Suzanne Collins. Set 24 years before the original trilogy, the film focuses on a young Haymitch Abernathy, played by Joseph Zada, during the 50th Annual Hunger Games, also known as the ‘Second Quarter Quell’. This specific edition of the games features a doubled number of tributes, totaling 48.

Recent footage has provided further details regarding the ensemble cast. Mckenna Grace is identified as Maysilee Donner, Elle Fanning as Effie Trinket, Jesse Plemons as Plutarch Heavensbee, and Glenn Close as Drusilla Sickle. Additional cast members identified in recent trailers include Whitney Peak as Lenore Dove Baird, alongside Kieran Culkin and Maya Hawke. The footage continues to highlight Haymitch’s struggle to survive the arena and his growing defiance against President Snow, portrayed by Ralph Fiennes.

New trailer releases have offered additional glimpses into Haymitch’s life in District 12 and his early interactions with characters such as Lenore Dove Baird and Maysilee Donner. The film is scheduled for theatrical release on November 20, 2026, with distribution handled by various international partners including Paris Filmes and Notorious Pictures.
