Sony Pictures is set to release the feature now known as The Social Reckoning in theaters Oct. 9, 2026. The buzzy cast includes Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Bill Burr and Jeremy Strong. Sorkin directs The Social Reckoning from his own script after earning an Oscar for his screenplay for the original 2010 film. The new project centers on a young Facebook engineer named Frances Haugen (Madison) who teams up with Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz (White) on a risky mission to bring attention to the social network's biggest secrets.

The forthcoming film is set 17 years after the events of The Social Network, which focused on Jesse Eisenberg's lead portrayal of Zuckerberg as he created the social media platform and was later sued by co-founder Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield) and the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer). Strong has finalized his deal to play Zuckerberg in The Social Reckoning, portraying an older version of the Meta CEO than viewers saw in the 2010 movie. The Social Reckoning, which hits theaters over the Columbus Day weekend, follows The Social Network in getting released in October, as fall can be a prosperous time for adult dramas. Director David Fincher's The Social Network collected $226 million at the global box office and landed eight Academy Award nominations, including best picture. Sorkin's win was among the film's three trips to the podium.
