The world of tech scandals and courtroom drama is getting a high-voltage sequel with The Social Network Part II, and this time, the cast is coming in hot. Succession's Jeremy Strong, The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White, and Oscar-winner Mikey Madison are reportedly circling roles in The Social Network Part II.
With Aaron Sorkin returning to write and direct, the follow-up promises to dig into Facebook’s darkest chapters - think whistleblowers, leaked files, and the crumbling illusion of a connected utopia. The actor is joining newly announced actors Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White on the project, although more clarity on their roles is expected as of now.
While some sources point to a Wall Street Journal editor, others say there’s a far more electrifying option on the table: Mark Zuckerberg. Jesse Eisenberg, who famously played the Facebook CEO in The Social Network, has reportedly passed on reprising the role for now. Meanwhile, if deals close, Madison would portray whistleblower Frances Haugen, and White would take on the role of the WSJ tech reporter who helped break the story. The project would mark a reunion for Strong and Sorkin, who last worked together on The Trial of the Chicago 7.
More details on The Social Network Part II
Aaron Sorkin is officially writing and directing The Social Network Part II, the long‑teased follow-up to his Oscar‑winning 2010 script. Produced in conjunction with Sony Pictures and behind‑the‑scenes producers Todd Black, Peter Rice, and Stuart Besser, the project is now firmly in active development.
Unlike a traditional sequel, this film leaps forward past the early Facebook era. The story will revolve around The Facebook Files, a revelatory 2021 Wall Street Journal investigation by Jeff Horowitz that relied on leaks from whistleblower Frances Haugen. The articles highlighted the dangers of the platform and how it fails to bring information in front of users, shielding them from potential harm.
Sorkin has publicly condemned Facebook’s role in political polarization and the January 6 Capitol riot, stating, "I blame Facebook for January 6" and warning that the film will confront how internal decisions fueled a real‑world crisis. Talking about it on The Town podcast, the writer said
"Facebook has been, among other things, tuning its algorithm to promote the most divisive material possible because that is what will increase engagement. That is what will get you to what they call inside the hallways of Facebook 'the infinite scroll.'"

Currently in early development, The Social Network Part II has no confirmed green light, and details such as shooting schedule or release window remain unannounced. But with Sorkin directing his own script and centering on journalistic revelations, not founder mythology, the film is shaping up as a darker, more urgent follow‑up to the original.
More details on The Social Network Part II are awaited for now.
