‘The Social Network 2’ Confirmed: SU Alum to Write, Direct New Facebook Movie
- Aaron Sorkin is developing and will direct a follow-up film to the 2010 Facebook origin story, working with Sony Pictures on this new project that continues to explore the platform’s recent controversies.
- Sorkin found new inspiration from recent events like the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack and the 2021 Facebook Files leak revealing platform harms.
- The sequel will explore Facebook's effects on elections, youth, violence, and international issues, but it is not a direct January 6 movie.
- No dates have been announced for production or release, and whether Jesse Eisenberg will return to portray Zuckerberg remains uncertain, especially since the actor has publicly expressed reservations about being linked to the character.
- The project suggests a critical examination of Facebook’s recent impact and promises a new ensemble cast as Sorkin takes over directing duties.
