The next chapter in the Facebook saga is officially moving forward. The Social Network 2—a follow-up to the critically acclaimed 2010 film—is in development at Sony Pictures, with Aaron Sorkin returning as both writer and director. While not a direct sequel, the film will explore new controversies surrounding the tech giant, including revelations from The Facebook Files published by The Wall Street Journal.
Mikey Madison & Jeremy Allen White Tapped as Sorkin’s Top Picks
Oscar-winner Mikey Madison (Anora) and Emmy-winner Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) have emerged as Sorkin’s top choices to headline Social Network 2. Though no formal offers have been made, sources confirm these two actors are at the top of the wish list. Madison is rumored to play the whistleblower behind the explosive Facebook exposé, while White may portray journalist Jeff Horowitz, who led the investigation.

What Will Social Network Part 2 Be About?
This new installment will center around the real-life Facebook Files, a series of articles that exposed the platform’s damaging effects on users, particularly teens and preteens. While inspired by events like the January 6 Capitol attack and Facebook’s role in global political discourse, sources clarify the film is not focused solely on those incidents.
Will Jesse Eisenberg Return as Zuckerberg?
As of now, it’s unclear whether Jesse Eisenberg will reprise his Oscar-nominated role as Mark Zuckerberg. The size of Zuckerberg’s role in this chapter is still under wraps, leaving fans to wonder how the character will fit into the new narrative.
A Legacy to Live Up To
Released in 2010, The Social Network earned $226 million worldwide and took home three Academy Awards, including Best Adapted Screenplay for Sorkin. With the sequel tackling more recent controversies, Social Network 2 could become just as culturally relevant—and awards-worthy—as its predecessor.
