The Social Reckoning is an upcoming American biographical drama film written and directed by Aaron Sorkin. It is a companion piece to The Social Network (2010) and is based on the events surrounding the 2021 Facebook leak by whistleblower Frances Haugen, which additionally inspired The Wall Street Journal's article series and eight-part podcast The Facebook Files (2021). The film will star Mikey Madison, Jeremy Strong, Jeremy Allen White, Bill Burr and Wunmi Mosaku.

Sorkin had previously expressed interest and willingness to write a sequel to The Social Network should it involve the film's director David Fincher on numerous occasions since its original release. A follow-up to the film entered development in June 2025 with Sorkin attached as both writer and director. Sorkin also produced alongside Todd Black, Peter Rice and Stuart M. Besser. Casting for the film's ensemble was also underway that same month. Principal photography began in October 2025 in Vancouver, before wrapping that December.

The Social Reckoning is scheduled to be released on October 9, 2026, by Sony Pictures Releasing.
