Don’t you agree that The Social Network, released in 2010, was one of the best films ever made? Now, what if we say that the movie that no one expected to get a sequel has bagged one? On June 25, 2025, Deadline reported that The Social Network II is in development at Sony. Aaron Sorkin, the one who crafted the impeccable story of the 2010 film, is all set to write and direct the sequel. So, what else do we know about The Social Network 2? Well, here is everything, including release date, cast, plot and more about The Social Network sequel.
Does The Social Network 2 have a Release Date?
No, The Social Network 2 doesn’t have a concrete release date as of now. The sequel to the Facebook movie is still in a very early stage, with the creators trying to determine the cast and other key elements required to produce the film. So, we can expect the higher-ups to spill the beans on the release window or a date by late 2026 or early 2027.
Is there a trailer for The Social Network 2?
Sadly, no. As of now, there’s no official trailer or poster for The Social Network 2. Sony recently announced the film, and as of now, the creators haven’t even completed the casting, let alone filming. So, it’s still too soon for the creators to give us any form of teaser for the film.
What Is the Cast of The Social Network 2?
No cast member has been officially announced yet for The Social Network 2. The writer cum director Aaron Sorkin is eyeing the Oscar-winning actress Mikey Madison and the acclaimed actor Jeremy Allen White to be the central characters of the sequel.
According to THR, the screenwriter had a meeting with the actors, but no deal has been finalized yet. “If offers and, indeed, dealmaking closes, Madison would play Frances Haugen, the data engineer-turned-whistleblower who went to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Wall Street Journal with her information. White would play the former WSJ tech reporter who leads the breaking of the Facebook files, THR states. Besides them, no other cast and characters are in the talks at the moment.
What Could be The Plot of The Social Network 2?
While the original movie focused on Mark Zuckerberg’s rise and the launch of Facebook, the sequel will center on the negative impact of social media. Additionally, if you recall the Facebook leaks that occurred in 2021, the sequel will shed light on the same. It will revolve around Frances Haugen, the ex-employee who once worked at Facebook and transitioned into a whistleblower in 2021 and leaked the internal details of the users on the platform. The film will also follow Jeff Horwitz, the journalist who was the one to cover the breaking story.
