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.

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.
