A young Haymitch Abernathy is reaped for the 50th Hunger Games — the Second Quarter Quell, with double tributes.

What parents need to know

  • PG-13 violence: tribute deaths, arena combat, off-screen executions. Heavy themes of authoritarianism, alcohol use later in life, grief, and abusive power. Mild language. No nudity.

What's the story?

Twenty-four years before Katniss, sixteen-year-old Haymitch faces a Quarter Quell that pits him against forty-seven other tributes. The story we already know — how he lived, what it cost him — told straight through.

Is it any good?

Suzanne Collins's 2025 novel is the most politically pointed Hunger Games book yet, and director Francis Lawrence (returning from the previous four films) is leaning into it. Expect the franchise's signature mix of brutal arena sequences and Capitol satire, with the heaviest emotional arc since Mockingjay.
