The Second Quarter Quell is coming as Lionsgate releases the official teaser trailer for the upcoming sci-fi adventure prequel The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. View trailer below.

Taking place 24 years before the first film, a young Haymitch Abernathy is selected to compete in the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell, which occurs every 25 years. For this “special” edition, each district of Panem must send twice the number of tributes to the Capitol, who will fight to the death in Hunger Game

I’ve been waiting for the first “official” teaser trailer for this movie for quite some time. Like many fans out there, I did get a chance to read the new Suzanne Collins book (Sunrise on the Reaping), which was the fifth book in The Hunger Games series. I did enjoy and was quite thrilled to learn that it was going to become a movie. The preview alone looks quite impressive, especially with the cast. What’s shown looks incredible and I can’t wait to see how the movie will present certain scenes.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping  arrives in theaters on November 20th, 2026
