Fifth Harmony in talks to reunite without Camila Cabello after 8 year hiatus
Fifth Harmony, the chart-topping girl group formed on The X Factor in 2012, are in discussions to reunite without founding member Camila Cabello, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Multiple sources close to the matter confirmed the potential comeback, which would include Normani, Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane, and Lauren Jauregui. Cabello departed in 2016, relinquishing rights to the group name. Fifth Harmony continued as a four-piece, releasing a self-titled album in 2017 before announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2018.
Their planned return is timed for 2026, which marks the 10th anniversary of their album 7/27 and hit single 'Work From Home'. The group is said to be working on a documentary covering their return to live performance, with a tour currently under wraps.
Fifth Harmony achieved multiple platinum-certified albums and hits like 'Worth It,' reflecting their status as one of the most successful girl groups of the 2010s. In solo ventures, Cabello emerged as the most commercially successful with global singles such as 'Havana' and 'Señorita.'
Ally Brooke's husband, Will Bracey — also COO at the Justin Bieber family office — is believed to be leading the reunion efforts. Bracey has not commented publicly, and other members' representatives remain unavailable.

Camila Cabello throws shade at Fifth Harmony amid reports of group's reunion without her
Camila Cabello posted a TikTok video on May 29 dancing to the chorus of 'Gnarly,' the debut single from rising girl group KATSEYE. In the video, Cabello can be seen playfully dancinf to the beat in a bathroom, as the caption overhead reads: 'might just be the ex girl group member in me but ive been doing this in my bathroom for the past 3 hours now.' The timing of the post caught attention, as it coincided with news that Fifth Harmony—Cabello's former group—is planning a reunion without her. According to reports, the group is set to reassemble in 2026 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their hit single 'Work From Home' and the album 7/27. Normani, Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane, and Lauren Jauregui are said to be involved in the comeback, which includes plans for a documentary and tour. Cabello, who departed Fifth Harmony in 2016 and gave up rights to the group's name, made no direct mention of the reunion. Still, the caption's reference to being an 'ex girl group member' and her decision to spotlight a new girl group's track on the same day stirred speculation. The reunion is reportedly being managed by Will Bracey, Ally Brooke's husband and COO of the Justin Bieber family office.

Revisiting a victor
Fans of The Hunger Games, the odds are generously in your favour. After showing us the conniving boy that became the vicious President Snow, the beloved dystopian film franchise is gearing up for another prequel - this one set some years after The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Announced long before the 2025 release of its source material, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping will serve as the film adaptation for Suzanne Collins' novel of the same name. As per The Hollywood Reporter, the book was first announced in June last year, which was shortly followed by news on the screen adaptation. Slated for a November 20, 2026 release, the film will be the latest in a franchise that has brought all preceding novels to the big screen. Similar to The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Sunrise on the Reaping follows the youth of a character that the fans are familiar with, except this one is adored for aiding the protagonists as their Capitol-assigned mentor in the original books and films. Now, Haymitch Abernathy - tribute, friend, and rebel - will tell his own story. District 12 lineup Sunrise on the Reaping follows the 50th year of the annual Hunger Games, also known as the second Quarter Quell. In the Capitol's celebration of another 15-year lap, the Games introduce a fresh twist by doubling up on the usual 12 tributes that fight to the death each year. This time around, two girls and two boys are reaped from each district, adding up to a total of 42 teenagers forced to endure the Capitol's cruel punishment. Unbeknownst to young Haymitch, his dictated participation is only the first step towards a long life of misfortune. Leading a promising cast that appeases fans with every update, Joseph Zada will bring Haymitch to life on the big screen, along with Whitney Peak who will portray Haymitch's girlfriend, Lenore Dove Baird. Zada takes the torch from Woody Harrelson, who played the fan-favourite District 12 victor in the original quartet of films. Aside from Zada and Peak, others actors representing District 12 include Ben Wang who plays Wyatt Callow, the second male tribute reaped from District 12, along with Mckenna Grace and Molly McCann who play the female tributes Maysilee Donner and Louella McCoy respectively. Additionally, Iona Bell will portray Lou Lou, the Capitol's chilling replacement for Louella. Familiar names The official Instagram account for The Hunger Games is announcing all cast members steadily. With a post dedicated to a character each, the videos show text from the novel disappearing until only the character's name remains. The page then burns to reveal the actor behind the respective character, prompting a flood of reactions to each cast member in the comments. Portraying the tributes' band of allies are Kelvin Harrison Jr, Maya Hawke, and Lili Taylor, who play Beetee Latier, Wiress, and Mags Flanagan. Having previously appeared in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the characters were formerly played by Jeffrey Wright, Amanda Plummer, and Lynn Cohen respectively. Other familiar characters to be reintroduced in Sunrise on the Reaping are double agent Plutarch Heavensbee, President Coriolanus Snow, future Capitol escort Effie Trinket, and interviewer Caesar Flickerman. Formerly portrayed by Elizabeth Banks in the films centered around Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, a younger version of the elaborately dressed Effie will be played by Maleficent star Elle Fanning. Meanwhile, Black Mirror star Jesse Plemons is set to play Plutarch, the Capitol insider who aids the district rebels in the future story. The role was originally portrayed by Philip Seymour Hoffman. President Snow, who holds the record for appearing in every Hunger Games novel and film, will be brought to life this time by Conclave star Ralph Fiennes. The evil dictator was last seen as the protagonist of his own story in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and was played by Tom Blyth, though the late Donald Sutherland famously portrayed him in his prime in the first four films. The latest addition to the cast is Succession star Kieran Culkin, who will borrow the role of Caesar - the Capitol host who sits down with every tribute before the Games - from Stanley Tucci. "Kieran's scene-stealing presence and undeniable charm are perfect for Caesar Flickerman, the sickeningly watchable host of Panem's darkest spectacle. Stanley Tucci made Caesar unforgettable - and now Kieran will make the role entirely his own," said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group co-president Erin Westerman. No surprises? As per Variety, the novel Sunrise on the Reaping sold a staggering 1.5 million copies in its first week on sale in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, producing twice the first-week sales of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and three times that of Mockingjay. "After traveling with Coriolanus, who is endlessly manipulative and controlling, it was a relief to wear both Haymitch's voice and character. He has a much greater capacity for hope, love, and joy. More than Coriolanus - or Katniss, for that matter," Collins said. Speaking of revisiting a character whose future the readers are already familiar with, the author added, "It's another way to approach a story, but it has its advantages. If you look at Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, we learn in the prologue that the lovers will die. So you're really not focused on what's going to happen, but on how or why it happens."
