Importance Score: 45 / 100 🔵
Following the recent debut of Sunrise on the Reaping, fervent Hunger Games enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating further stories from Panem. Despite widespread appeals from readers for a sixth installment in the saga, author Suzanne Collins and her publishers have offered no confirmation regarding the potential for a new Hunger Games book.
This silence has not suppressed fan speculation concerning prospective storylines and unforeseen plot developments that might be examined in subsequent publications. The initial trilogy enthralled audiences with Katniss Everdeen’s experiences as a District 12 tribute and her triumphant ascent. Subsequent prequels have broadened the scope, exploring earlier iterations of the Games—one focusing on Coriolanus Snow’s mentorship of Lucy Gray Baird from District 12 to victory, and the latest, Sunrise on the Reaping, revealing Haymitch Abernathy’s journey to becoming victor of the 50th Games.
Fan Speculation Shifts Beyond District 12
Currently, widespread conjecture among the fanbase suggests that any future Hunger Games novels may depart from the familiar setting of District 12, instead casting attention on diverse individuals within the expansive realm of Panem.
Reddit Discussions Fuel Predictions
Enthusiastic readers have shared their predictions on platforms like Reddit, where a particular post ignited discussion:
“We’re all saying what book we WANT next, but what do we THINK will be next? Basically not a wishlist but prediction? I know Suzanne hasn’t said anything yet but in case she does have more books planned what do you think will be next?”

This user continued, “Everyone wants a Finnick book next but I have a feeling the next book will be similar to Ballad (as in a prequel not many were expecting). A Plutarch book is likely.”
Plutarch Heavensbee Emerges as a Potential Focus
This sentiment is echoed by numerous other fans, who propose that a potential new book could center on Plutarch Heavensbee. This character, initially presented in Catching Fire, later assumed a crucial position in Sunrise on the Reaping.
Plutarch, notably depicted by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman in the Hunger Games film series, operates as a clandestine advocate for the rebellion from within the upper echelons of Panem’s governing body.
Fan Arguments for a Plutarch-Centric Narrative
One fan articulated their viewpoint:
“Plutarch 100% I already wanted his point of view before Sunrise to see how the rebellion started. Now after knowing that he was in it pretty much from the beginning, it makes so much sense to have his book. A book from a capitol citizen and the rebellion would be perfect.”
Another reader speculated on the pattern of storytelling, stating:
“I think that if we get more prequels, we’ll continue the pattern of Capitol POVs and District POVs. I think Plutarch makes sense as the next POV character. And honestly, I think Annie’s games might make for the most interesting games to cover – I’ve seen the theory floated (ha) that the arena flooding was another rebel plot.”
They further elaborated:
“So that could connect well to a Plutarch POV where we get more of a look at the rebel operation behind it. We’d likely also get some insight into Finnick, Mags, and Annie this way.”
