What happens

The Social Reckoning is an upcoming American biographical drama thriller film written, co-produced, and directed by Aaron Sorkin. Based on the 2021 Facebook leak by whistleblower Frances Haugen and Jeff Horwitz, it is a standalone sequel to The Social Network (2010). It stars Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Wunmi Mosaku, Betty Gilpin, Billy Magnussen, Bill Burr, and Jeremy Strong. Sorkin had expressed interest in writing a sequel to The Social Network should it involve its director, David Fincher. The Social Reckoning entered development in June 2025 with Sorkin attached as both writer and director. Casting was also underway that month. Principal photography began in October 2025 in Vancouver, Canada and wrapped in December. The Social Reckoning is scheduled for release by Sony Pictures Releasing through its Columbia Pictures label in the United States on October 9, 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
