The Big Picture The Hunger Games franchise made its long-awaited return last year with the release of The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, which served as a prequel to the original set of films. Now it looks like fans can re-experience it all over again, as Lionsgate has announced the movie’s official streaming release date. The movie will make its streaming debut exclusively on the official STARZ app beginning on May 14 at 9pm ET.
Based on the prequel novel of the same name, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes centers on a young Coriolanus Snow , a young mentor who aims to make a name for himself in a post-rebellion Panem. Serving as a mentor in the 10th annual Hunger Games, he soon finds himself paired with Lucy Gray Baird of District 12, where the two must unite through stage presence and political wittiness in a race against time to ultimately reveal who is a songbird and who is a snake.
Francis Lawrence, who previously helmed the previous three installments of the franchise, directs the movie, with its screenplay written by Michael Lesslie and Michael Arndt. Blyth and Zegler star in the film alongside Josh Andrés Rivera, Viola Davis, Peter Dinklage, JasonSchwartzman, Hunter Schafer, Fionnula Flanagan, and Burn Gorman. Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, and Lawrence serve as producers of the project.
