There will never be a Hunger Games sequel, says Suzanne Collins’ editor

Speculation on Another Hunger Games Book

Many fans are anticipating whether Suzanne Collins will write another installment in the Hunger Games series. With such a rich world and history to explore, the possibilities are endless beyond Katniss’s narrative.

No Sequel in Sight

In a recent interview with Variety, Suzanne Collins’ editor, David Leviathan, hinted that a direct sequel may not be on the horizon. He stated, “I believe the ending of Mockingjay is the ending of the series.”

Exploring New Philosophical Themes

Leviathan also mentioned that Collins typically begins her storytelling journey with a philosophical concept in mind. The prequel, “Sunrise on the Reaping,” delves into themes of authority, obedience, and rebellion through the lens of Haymitch and the 50th Hunger Games.

A Glimpse into Panem’s Past

If Collins does revisit the world of Panem, it is likely that she will continue to draw from historical events to enrich the narrative. This approach ensures that any future books will complement Katniss’s story without overshadowing its conclusive nature.

Sunrise on the Reaping is scheduled for release on March 18, with a movie adaptation expected to premiere on Nov. 20, 2026.
