Aaron Sorkin Writing ‘Social Network’ Sequel Focused on Facebook’s Role in January 6

Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin is writing a sequel to his 2010 film ‘The Social Network’, which will focus on Facebook’s role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Sorkin confirmed the news during a live-from-D.C. edition of ‘The Hollywood Reporter’s’ podcast ‘Behind the Screen’, where he said, ‘You’re going to need to buy a movie ticket’ when asked about the project. The writer has previously expressed his desire to write a sequel about ‘the dark side’ of Facebook, especially if David Fincher would return to direct. Sources close to Sorkin confirmed that the writer is working on a ‘Social Network’-adjacent screenplay, but emphasized that the project was early days and there was no studio partner as of yet.
