The American Suzanne Collins is the author behind the popular “Hunger Games” book series, which has also been made into a film.
The production company Lionsgate, which is behind the film adaptations, announced on Thursday that “Sunrise on the Reaping” will also be released as a film.
It will be available for viewing on November 20, 2026.
The action of “Sunrise on the Reaping” takes place 24 years before the action of the first book, “The Game of Death” from 2008, and 40 years after the action of the most recent book, “A Tale of Songbirds and Snakes”, from 2020.
According to The Guardian, Suzanne Collins states that “Sunrise on the Reaping” was inspired by philosopher David Hume’s idea of implicit submission and his quote, “the ease with which the many are ruled by the few”.
- The story took a deeper dive into the use of propaganda and the power of those who control the narrative. The “real or not real” question seems more pressing to me every day.
The first four “Hunger Games” books have collectively sold over 100 million copies and have been translated into numerous languages.
The films have also been huge hits. The latest film “A tale of songbirds and snakes” earned over 337 million dollars.
A number of well-known actors in the film world have appeared in the “Hunger Games” films. Among them are Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Hunter Schafer, Viola Davis and Peter Dinklage.
