\"Sunrise on the Reaping\" is based on Suzanne Collins' 2025 novel of the same name. It revisits the world of Panem almost 25 years before the events of the original book and film saga. 

Francis Lawrence, who was behind the camera for four out of the five previous movies in the \"Hunger Games\" franchise, is directing the film from a screenplay by Billy Ray.

The character of Haymitch eventually becomes the mentor for Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, played by Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson in the original films. 

\"The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping\" arrives in theaters Nov. 20, 2026.
