How to Stream "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes"
Fans will finally get the chance to venture back into the Hunger Games cinematic universe with the prequel film, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which officially releases in theaters today. But, for those who prefer to return to Panem in the comfort of their own home, they'll have to wait a few more months until it's available on streaming.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, based off of the 2020 Suzanne Collins novel of the same name, stars Tom Blyth as a young Coriolanus Snow, Panem's future dictator, and Rachel Zegler as Lucy Gray Baird, the erased District 12 victor of the 10th annual Hunger Games.
The official synopsis reads:
THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES follows a young Coriolanus (Tom Blyth) who is the last hope for his failing lineage, the once-proud Snow family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With his livelihood threatened, Snow is reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), a tribute from the impoverished District 12. But after Lucy Gray’s charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates. With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favor. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow sets out on a race against time to survive and reveal if he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake.
