How to watch The Hunger Games movies in order (plus where the new one fits in)

It's almost been a decade since The Hunger Games released - the films, anyway. 

The Hunger Games is a franchise that consists of four Blockbuster movies, but it's based on three equally popular novels by Suzanne Collins. It's set in a dystopian future in Panem - a North American nation made up of 12 districts, with one Capitol ruling over all of them. As punishment for rebelling 74 years earlier, each district must select a boy and a girl between 12 and 18 to compete in the Hunger Games, an annual competition where the last remaining survivor wins. The Hunger Games are treated like a World Cup in the Capitol. But further away, in Panem, people are resentful about the Games.

This is where we meet the protagonist of the story: Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), a female tribute from District 12. 

The Hunger Games movies generated $2.9 billion at the box office and catapulted Lawrence's career. (The same year the first Hunger Games released, she won an Oscar.) But the story of the Games doesn't end with her in the first films. A new Hunger Games movie is coming. Set to premiere in 2023, it's based on an eponymous prequel novel from Suzanne Collins called The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. It'll focus on a young President Snow as he navigates being a mentor to a female tribute from District 12. Francis Lawrence is returning as the director, after helming three of the original movies.

So, with the new movie coming out next year, it's the perfect time to revisit Panem.
