Hunger Games movies in order

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (2023) 

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes invites us back to the brutal world of Panem.

It tells the story of a teenage Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) before he becomes the president of Panem we saw Donald Sutherland portray in the original movies.

The story takes place around the 10th annual Hunger Games and sees Snow paired with a District 12 tribute named Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler).

The film follows Snow as he goes on a journey of self-discovery as he grapples with his blossoming feelings for Lucy Gray and his hunger for power. 

The Hunger Games (2012)

The first released film in the Hunger Games series introduces a brave Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) who volunteers to take her sister's place in the annual games.

Set in a dystopian world, two teenagers from each of the 12 districts must fight to the death in a nationally televised event, until one survivor is left.

Katniss has to leave her boyfriend (Liam Hemsworth) behind, but she's quickly taken in by her mentor (Woody Harrelson) and stylist (Lenny Kravitz).

She forms an unlikely bond with fellow fighter Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), but will they remain just friends?

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

It begins when Katniss and Peeta return home safely after winning the 74th annual Hunger Games together.

It seems that not everyone is pleased with the teenagers' victory after their act of defiance sparked riots across the 12 districts.

Those in charge in the Capitol send the past winners back into the games to fight for ultimate victory.

Here, lovebirds Katniss and Peeta ally themselves with District Four's Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin).

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014)

The first part of the Hunger Games finale sees Katniss wake up in the supposedly non-existent District 13.

After being rescued from the 75th annual Hunger Games, Katniss is reunited with her mother and sister - but Peeta is nowhere to be seen.

President Snow (Donald Sutherland) has kidnapped Peeta and is brainwashing him into forgetting his love for Katniss.

A rebellion is also spreading across the districts and Katniss is right at the heart of it all.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015)

The finale of the Hunger Games saga sees Katniss accept her role as the Mockingjay - the symbolic head of the uprising.

Her goal is to end the annual games and return peace to Panem, but President Snow will do everything in his power to stop her.

As Katniss fights to get to the Capitol, she must choose between her childhood sweetheart (Liam Hemsworth) and her star-crossed lover Peeta.

When is Hunger Games set?

The Hunger Games saga is set in an unspecified future time.

It's set in the dystopian state of Panem, located in America.

The country is made up of a rich Capitol city and 12 post-apocalyptic districts.
