‘Sunrise on the Reaping’ Publisher on Why New ‘Hunger Games’ Prequel Is Focused on Haymitch and If Finnick’s Story Is Next


"Hunger Games" book editor David Levithan breaks down "Sunrise on the Reaping" and if sequels are on the table.

The film will mark the sixth installment in the “Hunger Games” movie franchise from Lionsgate, which has seen a collective $3.3 billion worldwide in theatrical ticket sales. Suzanne always starts with the philosophical point she wants to explore, and I think Haymitch and the 50th Hunger Games were the perfect grounds on which she could make readers think about the nature of authority and questions of when we obey and when we rebel. Scholastic, the Color Force team, and Lionsgate have been extraordinary partners on all things “Hunger Games” – I can still remember the first time we met with Nina Jacobson, and being floored that she clearly cared as much about the story and its message as we did.
