Hunter Schafer has been cast in 'The Hunger Games' prequel 'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes'.

It has just been announced that Hunter Schafer has been cast in the adaptation of 'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' - which is a prequel to 'The Hunger Games'.

Schafer will play the character of Tigris Snow, who we got a sneak peek of back in 2015 from 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2'.

"Years before he would become the tyrannical President of Panem, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow is the last hope for his fading lineage, a once-proud family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With the 10th annual Hunger Games fast approaching, the young Snow is alarmed when he is assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird, the girl tribute from impoverished District 12. But, after Lucy Gray commands all of Panem’s attention by defiantly singing during the reaping ceremony, Snow thinks he might be able to turn the odds in their favor. Uniting their instincts for showmanship and newfound political savvy, Snow and Lucy’s race against time to survive will ultimately reveal who is a songbird and a snake.”
