We are talking about our highly acclaimed character Haymitch Abernathy, who obviously you remember as the trainer of the tributes of district 12 and the winner of the 50th edition of the Hunger Games.
So far there are few details we know about the film, since the film will be inspired by the book “Sunrise on the Reaping”, which has also just been confirmed by the publisher Scholastic and will be released on March 18, 2025.

What is this new story about?
The new “The Hunger Games” saga movie will take us to the story of Haymitch Abernathy and the actions that led him to win the games.
It is clear that his participation in the games was a canonical fact for Haymitch, because as we see in the first film of the original saga, after winning the competition he ended up taking refuge in alcohol to try to face everything he experienced and, even worse, , had to do to emerge victorious.

It is known that the film will be set 24 years before the original trilogy and a few decades after “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” a prequel released last year.
When will Haymitch Abernathy’s film be released?
The film “Sunrise on the Reaping” which will tell us the story of Haymitch Abernathy will hit theaters on November 20, 2026, according to X’s announcement from the official accounts of the saga.

Another good news is that it is very likely that Francis Lawrence, the director of other “The Hunger Games” films, will return to direct the film, which could certainly be synonymous with quality.
