First trailer for Aaron Sorkin’s Facebook sequel The Social Reckoning

Oscar winner Mikey Madison and Jeremy Strong to star in film focused on fallout from whistleblower Frances Haugen

The first trailer for Aaron Sorkin’s eagerly anticipated follow-up to The Social Network has landed.

The Social Reckoning has been described as a film that isn’t a “straight sequel” but one that will still revisit Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook.

The drama is based on the Wall Street Journal series The Facebook Files, which examined the damage caused by the social networking site and how internal findings had been buried.

Zuckerberg will be played by the Succession star Jeremy Strong who was also Oscar-nominated for his performance in The Apprentice. “It’s one of the great scripts I’ve ever read,” Strong said last year. “It speaks to our time, it touches the third rail of everything happening in our world.”

‘The Social Reckoning’ Trailer: Jeremy Strong Is Mark Zuckerberg in Aaron Sorkin’s ‘Social Network’ Sequel

Sixteen years after “The Social Network” chronicled the rise of Facebook, audiences are getting their first look at its highly anticipated follow-up.

Sony Pictures has unveiled the trailer for “The Social Reckoning,” a sequel to the 2010 Oscar-winning drama that again turns its focus to the social media giant, this time examining the whistleblower revelations that emerged as the platform matured into a global force.

The film stars Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Bill Burr and Jeremy Strong. Strong takes over the role of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, succeeding Jesse Eisenberg, who led the original film.

Aaron Sorkin returns to the franchise doing double duty as both writer and director, expanding his role after winning an Academy Award for best adapted screenplay for “The Social Network.” The film tells the true story of former Facebook engineer Frances Haugen (Madison) and Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz (White), whose reporting exposed the company’s internal research and decision-making. Their work culminated in “The Facebook Files,” a 2021 investigative series revealing Facebook’s harmful effects on teens and its role in spreading misinformation, including content linked to political violence.

Jeremy Strong's Mark Zuckerberg is older, wiser, but no more likable in The Social Reckoning teaser

Our perception of Mark Zuckerberg has changed a lot since 2010. While back then he may have been thought of as a prickish, socially awkward wunderkind (or perhaps an enfant terrible) of the tech world, now he’s a socially awkward grown man who was one of the key figures in destabilizing our democracy in the past decade. Basically, he’s grown from a Jesse Eisenberg character into a Jeremy Strong character in the time between 2010’s The Social Network and 2026’s The Social Reckoning. We got the first teaser for the new film this morning, which shows a different Zuck—though not a more pleasant one—as he prepares to go to battle against Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White.
