The teaser, coming one year before the prequel’s release on Nov. 20, 2026, has Joseph Zada playing young Haymitch Abernathy on the morning of the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell.
The first footage (below) has Zada’s character showing his fight game as he competes in the Hunger Games a generation before Woody Harrelson played Abernathy in the original franchise movies. “I think these games are gonna be different,” young Abernathy says at one point.
The trailer also follows Lionsgate launching a stage adaptation of The Hunger Games in London to extend a successful film franchise that has grossed over $3.4 billion at the global box office.
Francis Lawrence is directing a screenplay adaptation by Billy Ray for Sunrise on the Reaping.
