The Hunger Games universe continues to expand with the release of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes in theaters on November 17. However, for those who prefer the comfort of streaming at home, the wait for its release on the small screen might be a bit longer.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is a film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' novel of the same name, published in 2020. The story focuses on the young Coriolanus Snow, who later becomes the infamous President Snow, and his relationship with Lucy Gray Baird, a District 12 victor of the Hunger Games. Tom Blyth takes on the role of young Coriolanus, while Rachel Zegler portrays Lucy Gray Baird.
Coriolanus is assigned to mentor Lucy Gray, a responsibility he initially feels too proud for. However, as Lucy captivates the audiences with her fight for survival, an unlikely alliance is formed between them, possibly even turning into a romance. The outcome, of course, is already known to fans of the original Hunger Games trilogy, but the journey towards it promises to be a thrilling experience.
The movie is distributed by Lionsgate, who reportedly has a multiyear deal with the streaming service Peacock. It is expected that The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will be available for streaming on Peacock once the deal goes into effect in 2024. In the meantime, viewers can subscribe to Peacock at a monthly fee starting from $5.99 or enjoy a discounted annual subscription at $59.99. Peacock not only offers big releases like The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, but also provides access to live sporting events and popular shows on NBC, Bravo, and other channels.
