Young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth), age 18, is handsome and charming. Though his family has fallen on hard times, he sees a chance to change his fortunes when he is chosen to be a mentor for the Tenth Hunger Games. This origin story of the tyrannical President of Panem, who terrorized the contestants in the earlier Hunger Games films, adds depth to a central character while giving fans a look at how it all started. "Remarkably, Songbirds & Snakes has found a way to make The Hunger Games feel new and sharp." — Alex-Abad-Santos, Vox
