The Trailer
The first teaser trailer is absolutely perfect! It runs at just over 2 minutes – way longer than we thought we’d ever get so soon. In this trailer, we’re briefly introduced to a few key characters, including Drusilla Sickle, Haymitch, Lenore, Maysilee, Effie Trinket, President Snow, and Plutarch Heavensbee. There are still so many other characters we haven’t seen yet! And yes, we will be rewatching this trailer all week.
Exclusive Photos
The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping releases on November 20, 2026. That might seem like a long way away (it is), but to keep us fans satisfied until then, we’re locking in on these exclusive photos of our favorite characters. As the months go on and we ring in the new year, we’re hoping a few more photos and a handful of new trailers get released. We have no patience!
