Author Suzanne Collins is set to release a new Hunger Games novel, Sunrise on the Reaping, on March 18, 2025, exploring the 50th Hunger Games set 24 years before the original. Drawing inspiration from Scottish philosopher David Hume, Collins delves into themes of propaganda and control in the upcoming book. Scholastic president Ellie Berger praises the novel for its complexity and insight into the world of Panem. Fans eagerly anticipate the latest installment, sharing their excitement on social media. While film rights are yet to be announced, the Hunger Games series has already made a significant impact globally, with a three-fingered salute from the films becoming a symbol of resistance in southeast Asia. With over 100 million copies sold, Collins's return to Panem is highly anticipated, following the success of previous books and films in the franchise.
