The Social Network: A New Chapter

USAThu Jun 26 2025
Aaron Sorkin is back with a fresh take on the Facebook story. This time, he's not just writing but also directing a follow-up to his Oscar-winning film, The Social Network. The new project, titled The Social Network Part II, is in the works at Sony Pictures. It's not a direct sequel but more of a continuation, exploring the aftermath of the original story. The film will dive into the Wall Street Journal's explosive series, The Facebook Files, which revealed some shocking truths about the world's largest social network. Sorkin's script will cover Facebook's role in the 2020 U. S. election, its impact on young people, and its global influence. Unlike the first movie, which was directed by David Fincher, Sorkin will be at the helm this time. He's been honing his directing skills with projects like Molly's Game and The Trial of the Chicago 7. Casting is still underway, and everyone is eager to see who will join this high-profile project. As for Jesse Eisenberg, who played Mark Zuckerberg in the original, it's unclear if he'll reprise his role. But one thing's for sure: Zuckerberg's presence will be felt in some way. The film is still in its early stages, but with Sorkin's involvement, it's sure to be a hit.
