A new prequel of the dystopian book series "The Hunger Games" is in the works and will be released next year.

In an announcement on Facebook, The Hunger Games Page revealed that the book will be titled "Sunrise of the Reaping" and will recount the events of the 50th Hunger Games or 2nd Quarter Quell where Haymitch Abernathy won.

In the 2nd Quarter Quell, four tributes were reaped from each district, doubling the challengers in the Hunger Games.
