Whether you’ve already rushed to the theater to catch the highly anticipated “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” or you’re waiting until you’re back home for the holidays to catch the anticipated prequel film with your family, now is the perfect time to binge the iconic trilogy.
The “Hunger Games” franchise technically consists of four films: “The Hunger Games (2012), “Catching Fire” (2013), “Mockingjay – Part 1” (2014), “Mockingjay – Part 2” (2015) and now “The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” starring Rachel Zegler. While the prequel film is not available to stream yet, the first four films are all accessible online.

The best way to stream the first three “Hunger Games” movies is on Peacock, which currently offers a 3-day free trial — that means if you can binge the first three films in three days (which some would say is a laughably easy feat), then you won’t have to pay a dime. If you choose to sign up for a permanent account, however, subscriptions start as low as $1.99/month.
The only platform that has all four original films is Starz, which is currently $3/month. You can also access Starz by purchasing the add-on on Hulu, which offers a 7-day free trial. The most economical way to get through all four films is to watch the first three films on Peacock through their free trial, and then sign up for a free trial on Hulu in order to catch “Mockingjay – Part 2.”

“The Hunger Games,” based off the bestselling novel by Suzanne Collins, is set in the dystopian city of Panam which maintains its hold on its 12 districts by forcing them each to select a boy a girl, called Tributes, to compete in a nationally televised event called The Hunger Games. Every citizen must watch as the youths fight to the death until only one remains. District 12 Tribute Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence, has little to rely on, other than her hunting skills and sharp instincts, in an arena where she must weight survival against love.
The prequel film, which premiered in November, tells the story of how The Hunger Games first came to be, and follows the young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blythe), the main villain in the original films, who strives to revive his family’s legacy. In the midst of his efforts, he is tasked with mentoring District 12’s tribute and Panem’s favorite, Lucy Gray Baird (Zegler). Coriolanus works with Lucy to keep her alive in the Hunger Games, and he begins to battle between good and evil.
