The Hunger Games The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Suzanne Collins’ provocative dystopian novel, The Hunger Games, made waves when it was released back in 2008. Shortly after the success of the book trilogy, Lionsgate picked up the IP and turned it into a hugely popular film franchise aimed at a young adult audience. While 2015’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2 was the last iteration in the series, talk of a spin-off prequel has been circulating for a while. Now, we hear the news that the prequel is officially on its way. As a result, some of you may be wondering when does The Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, release? Here’s everything you need to know.
