Oscar-winning writer returns to subject of his 2010 hit for follow-up based on Wall Street Journal series on Facebook
Aaron Sorkin is officially working on a sequel to The Social Network.
Last year, the Oscar-winning writer revealed he was working on a film that would revisit the subject of Facebook, and Deadline has now reported that The Social Network Part II is in development at Sony Pictures yet isn’t a “straight sequel”.
The original film, which traced the early days of Facebook and its creator Mark Zuckerberg, was directed by David Fincher. Sorkin is rumoured to be directing the follow-up.
“I blame Facebook for January 6,” he said in 2024 on a special edition of The Town podcast, live from Washington DC. When asked to explain why, he responded: “You’re gonna need to buy a movie ticket.”
