Lionsgate is set to bring back The Hunger Games with a new movie, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, based on Suzanne Collins' recently announced novel. The film, helmed by Francis Lawrence and produced by Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson, will transport fans back to Panem 24 years before the original movie as they witness the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell. The highly-anticipated adaptation promises to dive deep into the legendary events that shaped the history of the Games, featuring Haymitch Abernathy as the victor and offering a fresh perspective on the franchise. With a wide theatrical release scheduled for 2026, Lionsgate is gearing up to captivate audiences once again with the compelling and thrilling world of The Hunger Games.
