EXCLUSIVE: BAFTA winner Wunmi Mosaku (Sinners) is set to join The Social Reckoning, Sony Pictures‘ follow-up to The Social Network — the Oscar-winning 2010 drama examining Facebook’s origin story that Aaron Sorkin penned for director David Fincher.
No word yet on who Mosaku will play. She joins a cast that includes the previously announced Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Jeremy Strong and Bill Burr. Sorkin is directing this time around, having also again penned the script.
Described as a companion piece to The Social Network, Sorkin’s script tells the true story of how Frances Haugen (Madison), a young Facebook engineer, enlists the help of Jeff Horwitz (White), a Wall Street Journal reporter, to go on a dangerous journey that ends up blowing the whistle on the social network’s most guarded secrets.

Jordan’s Smoke, in Sinners, Ryan Coogler’s smash hit period vampire flick, which grossed over $350 million worldwide. Campaigning for a Supporting Actress Oscar for her work, the rising star has also been seen in films like Deadpool & Wolverine, His House, and Damilola, Our Loved Boy, for which she won the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress.
