Return to “The Hunger Games,” the landmark film franchise that has earned over $3 billion globally, with Lionsgate’s adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ No. 1 New York Times Bestseller “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.”

Years before he would become the tyrannical president of Panem, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) is the last hope for his fading lineage, a once-proud family that has fallen from grace in a post-war capitol. With the 10th annual Hunger Games fast approaching, the young Snow is alarmed when he is assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), the girl tribute from impoverished District 12. But, after Lucy Gray commands all of Panem’s attention by defiantly singing during the reaping ceremony, Snow thinks he might be able to turn the odds in their favor.

Uniting their instincts for showmanship and newfound political savvy, Snow and Lucy Gray’s race against time to survive will ultimately reveal who is a songbird, and who is a snake.

“The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” is set for domestic release Nov. 17, 2023. It is directed by Francis Lawrence. The screenplay is by Michael Arndt and Michael Lesslie, based on the novel by Collins. Additional cast members include Peter Dinklage, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andrés Rivera, Jason Schwartzman and Viola Davis.
