A New York Magazine article inspired this nine-part series.
This whole story is completely true. Except for all of the parts that are totally made up.
Created by Shondaland, who brought you Scandal and Bridgerton, Inventing Anna premieres February 11 on Netflix.
In Inventing Anna, a journalist with a lot to prove (Anna Chlumsky) investigates the case of Anna Delvey (Emmy Award winner Julia Garner), the Instagram-legendary German heiress who stole the hearts – and wallets – of New York’s social scene.
But is Anna New York’s biggest con woman, or is she simply the portrait of the new American dream? Anna and the reporter form a dark, humourous, love/hate bond as Anna awaits trial and our reporter fights the clock to answer the biggest question in NYC… who is Anna Delvey?
This nine-part series is inspired by the New York Magazine article “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People” by Jessica Pressler, who also serves as a producer on the series.
