Another Prequel Can Build On Songbirds & Snakes' Success
Lionsgate ’s desire for moreHunger Gamesmovies and notingThe Ballad of Songbirds & Snakesas a success are both points in favour of the studio apartment makingThe Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes 2 . The lack of a sequel novel by Suzanne Collins is the biggest stumbling block for the continuation at this point .
