Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning has added some fresh faces to it's star studded ensemble, as more and more details are emerging for the sequel to The Social Network. New actors onboard the project are Portia Doubleday, known for her role in Mr Robot, Patrick Fischler, who worked on American Fiction, Joey Brooks, star of Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, Sierra Capri who was seen on Netflix’s On My Block and Tehmina Sunny, who you might have seen on Partner Track.
Fifteen years after The Social Network dissected the messy birth of Facebook, Aaron Sorkin is returning to the world of social media, power, and ambition with The Social Reckoning. The film is a “companion piece” rather than a traditional sequel, as it dives into the platform’s modern-day moral collapse, this time through the eyes of a whistleblower who risked everything to expose it.
Starring alongside him is Anora’s Mikey Madison as Frances Haugen, the former Facebook engineer who leaked internal documents that revealed the company’s dark underbelly. The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White plays Jeff Horwitz, the Wall Street Journal reporter who helped bring Haugen’s story to light, while Sinners star Wunmi Mosaku and comedian Bill Burr round out the ensemble in undisclosed roles.
More details on The Social Reckoning
Rather than revisiting the creation of Facebook, The Social Reckoning jumps forward nearly two decades to explore its consequences. Drawing inspiration from The Facebook Files, a 2021 Wall Street Journal investigation by Horwitz, the story follows Haugen as she exposes Facebook’s role in spreading misinformation, fueling polarization, and damaging teenage mental health.
Fans of The Social Network’s original cast, including Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, and Rooney Mara, shouldn’t expect any familiar faces this time around. Sorkin’s new chapter is less about nostalgia and more about moral reckoning. In an interview, Strong revealed that his portrayal of Zuckerberg will be completely distinct from Eisenberg’s, saying he’s approaching the role “with care, empathy, and objectivity.”
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor spoke about his role in The Social Reckoning and said,

"I think that has nothing to do with what I’m going to do. It’s a great character — fascinating, complex — and I’m approaching it with great care and empathy and objectivity. I’ve made two films with Aaron [with The Trial of the Chicago 7 and Molly’s Game] and third time’s the charm.”
With Sorkin writing and directing once again, expectations are high. His previous collaborations with Strong on Molly’s Game and The Trial of the Chicago 7 proved electric, and this third outing could be his most politically charged yet. There’s no trailer yet, but a release date has been set for October 9, 2026.
