A new Hunger Games book is coming – and a film adaptation of it has been confirmed too.

Sunrise on the Reaping will be the fifth volume of Suzanne Collins’s best-selling dystopian series and its publication date has been set for 18 March 2025.

The book will be set 24 years before the first Hunger Games novel, which came out in 2008, and 40 years after Collins’ most recent book, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, publishers Scholastic announced today.
