"The Social Reckoning" will center on journalist Jeff Horwitz's experience writing "The Facebook Files" series for The Wall Street Journal in 2021. White is set to portray Horwitz, while Madison will play data engineer Frances Haugen, who served as his whistleblower. Comedian Bill Burr also joins the cast in a role reportedly created specifically for the film.
Aaron Sorkin, who wrote the screenplay for the original film, returns to pen the script and produce "The Social Reckoning." However, original director David Fincher will not be back; Sorkin himself will pull double duty, also directing the sequel.
