The novel begins on the morning of the 50th annual Hunger Games, when a young Haymitch is chosen to compete in the deadly arena. Haymitch eventually wins the games, going on to become the mentor for Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, the lead characters of the original "Hunger Games" novels.
"The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping" arrives in theaters Nov. 20, 2026.
