It's been nearly eight years without Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games on the big screen. But very soon, that's going to change. Taking us back 64 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes following the rise to power of Coriolanus Snow of a young Coriolanus Snow.

But just when will the songbirds and snakes of our world get to head back to Panem? Popverse is going to answer that with our The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes release date guide. We'll let you know not just one release date, but an international list of them, and we'll talk a little bit about when the movie might be streaming.

Let's start by asking....

Starting with the first country to publish The Hunger Games and home to Collins herself, the United States. If you're reading this from the USA, you'll get to return to Collins' deadly nation of Panem on November 17. As of this writing, that's just a little more than a month away. But what about elsewhere in the world?

What are the global release dates for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes?

When will The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes be available to stream?

Say you want to watch The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes from the comfort of your own home. It makes sense, dystopias are a easier to deal with in sweatpants, as we all have recently learned. You'd probably be wondering, in this case, when the movie will be available to stream.

Since the Hunger Games prequel is a Lionsgate project, we're making the guess that it will be available on Starz (don't get mad if we're wrong, though). As for the release date, well, that's an even harder guess to make. ComingSoon.Net thinks it might be some time in May 2024, following the pattern of other Lionsgate projects such as John Wick 4.

Whenever the stream date for the film is officially released, we'll let you know. Until then, may the odds be ever in your favor.
