Summary Following The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping — which is expected to showcase Haymitch's Abernathy's backstory — there are still many more characters from The Hunger Games who deserve their own prequels. While the original Hunger Games book trilogy follows Victor-turned-revolutionary Katniss Everdeen , Suzanne Collins has demonstrated her interest in expanding the world in recent years.
However, there is potential to expand Finnick's prequel beyond the standard expectation that the story ends when he wins. The next few years are very important in his backstory: He is forced into prostitution by President Snow; his future wife Annie Cresta wins the 70th Hunger Games; his would-be close friend Johanna wins the 71st Games.
7 Mags Flanagan From Catching Fire Close Everyone wants to see Mags' life as a young woman; her story would also serve as a natural follow-up to Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, as she wins the Games the year after Lucy Gray. How Mags wins her Games is unconfirmed; interestingly, the girl from District 4, Coral , almost wins the 10th Hunger Games before Lucy Gray's stroke of luck.
Related Hunger Games: Every Known Winner The titular event at the center of the Hunger Games franchise lasted 75 years before it came to an end. Here's every known victor of the competition. Therefore, a story following the 25th Games has huge potential to explore the darkest parts of human nature and how the people in the districts are forced to do terrible things to survive, a theme which is already illustrated in the context of the arena. The would-be Victor and their fellow tributes may feel some resentment towards their respective districts who chose them for the Games.
Cinna makes a subtly beautiful contribution to the series by showcasing how art plays a role in politics and making the world a better place.
