Are there new Hunger Games books or movies in 2025
As of 2025, there is no new Hunger Games novel or film released beyond the existing canon. The core series includes the original trilogy by Suzanne Collins—The Hunger Games (2008), Catching Fire (2009), and Mockingjay (2010)—alongside the prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (2020). No new mainline Hunger Games book has been published since then. This article clarifies the current status of announced projects and what readers can reasonably expect from official sources.
What officially exists in The Hunger Games series
Core titles and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
The published canon consists of four books:
- The Hunger Games (2008)
- Catching Fire (2009)
- Mockingjay (2010)
- The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (2020)
There are no additional main-arc novels released after 2020. Short stories, companion pieces, and special editions have appeared, but they do not extend the central narrative.
Status of announced projects and rumored new Hunger Games books
Multiple announcements over the years have referenced additional content, yet none have materialized as new standalone novels in the main series.
The Hunger Games prequel film and other media
The 2023 film The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes adapts the 2020 novel and serves as a prequel, not a sequel to Mockingjay. Television projects have been discussed but remain unconfirmed as of 2025.
Past announcements and delayed plans
Collins has mentioned working on related material, including potential future projects, but no release dates or manuscripts for new Hunger Games books have been confirmed.
Upcoming releases and what fans can expect
Without an official announcement from the publisher or author, no reliable publication timeline for a new Hunger Games book can be provided. Reliable status updates are best sourced from Suzanne Collins’s official channels, the publisher’s announcements, or reputable entertainment news outlets with confirmed information.

To determine whether a new Hunger Games book is truly in development, check primary sources first.
