How Many Books Are in The Hunger Games Series?
There are four books published as of now including The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay and The Ballad of the Songbirds & Snakes. Once Sunrise on the Reaping is published there will be a total of five books within the series. If you look at the movies though, the third book, Mockingjay was split into two movies, which expanded the movies into five total.
If you’d also like to watch The Hunger Games films, you can stream all four movies online through Starz, which has a 7-day free trial through Prime Video. After the free trial is over, you’ll be charged $9.99 a month on top of your Prime membership subscription. You’ll need a Prime membership in order to watch The Hunger Games series online for free.

How to Read The Hunger Games in Order
The best way to read the books is in the order the series was released in, which would start with The Hunger Games followed by Catching Fire, Mockingjay and The Ballad of the Songbirds & Snakes. While the fourth book is considered a prequel to the main trilogy, you could still read Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes first, to understand all the Easter eggs that will likely be placed within Sunrise on the Reaping.
Fans can also look forward to seeing book five on the big screen as it was reported that the upcoming book has already scored a movie deal.
