Trivia[]
- This marks the first time in the franchise that both the book and film adaptation were announced the same date. The first film was not announced until all books in the original trilogy had been released. Lionsgate was already in talks to produce The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes before the novel was published, but the film was not officially announced until April 2020, the month before the book's release in May.
