Latest News About What Is The Order Of The Hunger Games Movies

Here’s the current consensus on the Hunger Games movie order, including the latest developments.

Answer

• Release-date order (widely used): The Hunger Games (2012), The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013), The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 (2014), The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015). A prequel, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023), is shown as a separate entry and is set before the original films. A second prequel is planned for release in 2026, titled Sunrise on the Reaping, which will chronicle the 50th Hunger Games.

Illustration

• If you’re planning a marathon, a practical approach is to watch in release order first (to experience the story as the audience did), then revisit with the Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes if you want the canonical prequel context. Sunrise on the Reaping would slot before the original film in a chronological re-watch.
