2026 film by Aaron Sorkin
The Social Reckoning is a 2026 American biographical legal thriller film written, co-produced, and directed by Aaron Sorkin. A follow-up to The Social Network (2010), it dramatizes the 2021 Facebook leak by the whistleblower Frances Haugen and Jeff Horwitz. It stars Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Jeremy Strong, Bill Burr, Wunmi Mosaku, Betty Gilpin, and Billy Magnussen.
