All 5 'Hunger Games' Movies Are Officially Leaving Netflix

The odds have never been particularly favorable for the people of Panem, but at least they usually get some warning before everything goes horribly wrong. Jennifer Lawrence helped turn The Hunger Games into one of the biggest movie franchises of the 2010s, playing a teenage girl who accidentally becomes the face of a revolution after volunteering to save her sister's life. Five movies, billions of dollars and several very questionable decisions from the Capitol later, the franchise remains one of the most successful young adult adaptations Hollywood has ever produced. Unfortunately, its latest streaming home is preparing to send the tributes packing.

All five Hunger Games movies are officially leaving Netflix in the United States. The departing collection includes The Hunger Games (2012), Catching Fire (2013), Mockingjay – Part 1 (2014), Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015), and the 2023 prequel The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Together, the movies have earned more than $3.3 billion worldwide, establishing the franchise as one of Lionsgate's most valuable properties, based on the bestselling novels by Suzanne Collins.

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its 12 districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete to the death in the Hunger Games. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers in her younger sister's place and must rely upon her sharp instincts when she is pitted against highly trained tributes who have prepared their entire lives for this competition. If she is ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

The cast is led by Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) as Katniss Everdeen, alongside Josh Hutcherson (Five Nights at Freddy's) as Peeta Mellark, Liam Hemsworth (The Last Song) as Gale Hawthorne, Woody Harrelson (Zombieland) as Haymitch Abernathy, Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect) as Effie Trinket, Stanley Tucci (The Devil Wears Prada) as Caesar Flickerman, Donald Sutherland (Pride & Prejudice) as President Snow, and Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Master) as Plutarch Heavensbee.
