Overview

  • Aaron Sorkin will write and direct the sequel at Sony Pictures, joining producers Todd Black, Peter Rice and Stuart Besser.
  • The project is based on The Wall Street Journal’s 2021 Facebook Files series, which exposed internal documents on the platform’s divisive algorithms and youth impact.
  • Described as a thematic follow-up rather than a chronological sequel, the film will examine Facebook’s influence on political violence, youth mental health and global discourse.
  • Casting is in preliminary stages and no commitments have been made regarding Jesse Eisenberg or other original cast members.
  • No production or release dates have been announced as the sequel remains in early development.
