Incredibly enough, it’s been almost three years since Anna Delvey—a.k.a Anna Sorokin, a.k.a. the socialite scammer—was convicted on charges of attempted grand larceny, larceny in the second degree, and theft of services. Now the fake heiress is on her way to being forever immortalized: On February 11, Netflix will debut Inventing Anna, a nine-episode limited series from Grey’s Anatomy and Bridgerton creator Shonda Rhimes.
While much has been written on the topic of Delvey, it will likely take a TV show to truly capture her story, from her signature disheveled style to her penchant for oh-so-2010s downtown restaurants that she couldn’t actually afford. Inventing Anna stars Julia Garner as Delvey and Anna Chlumksy as Vivian (the journalist following her, based on New York magazine’s Jessica Pressler) and will also feature Laverne Cox, Katie Lowes, and Anna Deveare Smith. Below, take an exclusive look at on-set photos and the teaser trailer for the series.
“Who the hell is Anna Delvey?” is the immortal question asked early on in the trailer, and we get plenty of shots of Garner as Delvey with all the trappings of a con artist: big smile, sunglasses, purse full of cash. There also seems to be an exciting New York parody called Manhattan, and Chlumsky’s hair is appropriately untamed for a journalist busy chasing down her next lead (at least if my current coif is any indication). February 11 can’t come soon enough.
