New Hunger Games Novel, 'Sunrise on the Reaping', Explores Implicit Submission and Propaganda in Panem

In a surprising turn of events, author Suzanne Collins is set to release a new novel in the Hunger Games series titled 'Sunrise on the Reaping'. The book, which is scheduled for publication on March 18, 2025, will take readers back to the world of Panem and explore themes that have long intrigued Collins. According to reports, Sunrise on the Reaping will begin on the morning of the reaping for the Fiftieth Hunger Games and delve deeper into implicit submission, control by a few over many, propaganda, and those who hold power to establish truth.

Collins has been inspired by Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume's ideas of implicit submission and 'the easiness with which the many are governed by the few'. The story is expected to provide a deeper exploration into these concepts as well as propaganda and its power in shaping narratives.

One notable character from this event is Haymitch Abernathy, who won the Fiftieth Hunger Games. The book may also feature appearances from Maysilee Donner and an older Coriolanus Snow, among others. Characters such as Caesar Flickerman, Tigris, Lucy Gray Baird, President Coin, and older former victors seen in Catching Fire including Mags, Beetee, and Wiress are also expected to make an appearance.

The publication of Sunrise on the Reaping marks a return to the Hunger Games universe for Collins after her 2020 release The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Fans of the series will be eagerly anticipating this new addition, which promises to provide fresh insights into a world they thought they knew.

The film rights for Sunrise on the Reaping have not yet been announced, but given the success of previous adaptations, it is likely that Lionsgate will acquire them and bring the story to life on the big screen.
