“The Social Network” Sequel Cast and Rumors
Oscar winner Mikey Madison (Anora) and Emmy winner Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) are circling lead roles — Madison is expected to play whistleblower Frances Haugen, while White may portray the reporter who broke the story.
Sorkin is back as writer-director, with Sony prioritizing the project. While the project is still in its early stages, insiders report that it is a top priority for Sony Pictures. Meetings with potential cast members are ongoing, and Sorkin is actively working on assembling a budget and finalizing the cast. Although no official offers have been made yet, the momentum is building, and fans are eager for updates.
The original “The Social Network”, directed by David Fincher, was a cultural phenomenon that received widespread acclaim. It earned eight Academy Award nominations and won three, including Best Adapted Screenplay for Sorkin. The film’s portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg and the creation of Facebook captivated audiences and sparked discussions about the ethical implications of social media.
This sequel promises a sharp, timely follow-up to a modern classic — one that speaks to where we are now with social media.
