The highly anticipated trailer for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping has been released, offering fans a glimpse into the origin story of one of the franchise's most iconic characters, Haymitch Abernathy. The new film serves as a prequel to the original Hunger Games series and is based on Suzanne Collins' 2025 novel, set 24 years before the events of the first book.
In this prequel, audiences are introduced to a young, defiant Haymitch (played by Joseph Zada), well before he became the jaded mentor in the original series, portrayed by Woody Harrelson. The trailer highlights Haymitch's initial resistance as he is chosen for the Games, setting the stage for his journey through trauma and survival in the brutal arena.
The film also features a star-studded ensemble cast, including Jesse Plemons as the young Plutarch Heavensbee, Ralph Fiennes as the malevolent President Snow, Glenn Close as District 12 official Drusilla Sickle, Kieran Culkin as Caesar Flickerman, and Elle Fanning as a young Effie Trinket. The cast also includes Mckenna Grace, Maya Hawke, Whitney Peak, and Kelvin Harrison Jr., bringing key characters to life with fresh faces.
The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping has already made waves, with the 2025 novel selling over 1.5 million copies in its first week. Directed by Francis Lawrence, the film is set for theatrical release on November 20, 2026, and is expected to build on the massive success of the Hunger Games franchise, which has sold over 100 million copies worldwide. With its blend of action, emotion, and the exploration of the darker origins of beloved characters, the film promises to captivate both new viewers and long-time fans of the series.
