Suzanne Collins gave her readers a huge gift in returning to the world of The Hunger Games series, the first three books of which she wrote in 2008, 2009 and 2010, for the prequel story of one Haymitch Abernathy.

The Hunger Games prequel Sunrise on The Reaping will have McKenna Grace star as Maysilee Donner. The casting news comes one day after actors Joseph Zada and Whitney Peak were confirmed to join.

Released in March, Sunrise on the Reaping is the fifth novel in Collins’ blockbuster series, which revisits the dystopian world of Panem 24 years before the events of The Hunger Games. It is the American author’s first book since the publication of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes in 2020.
