Rachel Zegler Manifested the New 'Hunger Games' Book? Fans Think So

Rachel Zegler, the breakout star from “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” has taken the internet by storm with her claim of manifesting the newest addition to the Hunger Games series. On June 6, 2024, Zegler tweeted “You’re welcome guys,” referencing her 2021 tweet where she wished for a Haymitch Abernathy origin trilogy by Suzanne Collins.

This upcoming novel will delve into the 50th Hunger Games, known as the second Quarter Quell, bringing readers back to the heart of Panem.

The internet has been abuzz with fans thanking Zegler for what they believe to be her influence. Adding to the hype, a movie adaptation of “Sunrise on the Reaping” is already in the pipeline, slated for a November 20, 2026 release by Lionsgate.
