Julia Garner Tricks Us Into Thinking She's Anna Delvey in the First Look Photos For Inventing Anna
It’s been two years since Netflix announced that Shonda Rhimes would be helming the onscreen adaptation of the scandal involving scam artist Anna Delvey, and now we finally have a first look at Inventing Anna. On Oct. 25, Netflix released the first photos of the upcoming series, which stars Julia Garner as the fake German heiress who scammed her way into New York’s social circle and conned them out of thousands of dollars. Aside from the cast and plot, a release date still has yet to be confirmed, but now that we have the first photos, a trailer will hopefully be dropping very soon. Ahead, see everything we know about the show so far.
The Cast
Julia Garner will star as the fake German heiress Anna “Delvey” Sorokin, alongside Arian Moayed, Katie Lowes, Alexis Floyd, Anders Holm, Anna Deavere Smith, Jeff Perry, Terry Kinney, and Laverne Cox.
The Plot
Inspired by Jessica Pressler’s New York Magazine article “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People,” the nine-episode Netflix series will centre around a journalist who investigates the case of Anna Delvey, the fake German heiress that managed to con her way into New York’s social scene and scammed people out of thousands of dollars. As Anna awaits trial, the reporter looks into her case to get to the bottom of who Anna really is.
