The Social Reckoning

The Social Reckoning is a 2026 American legal thriller film written, co-produced, and directed by Aaron Sorkin. A standalone sequel to The Social Network (2010), it dramatizes the 2021 Facebook leak by the whistleblower Frances Haugen and Jeff Horwitz. It stars Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Jeremy Strong, Bill Burr, Betty Gilpin, and Billy Magnussen. Sorkin had expressed interest in writing a follow-up 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 in the United States on October 9, 2026.
