The series, written by Rhimes and based on Jessica Pressler’s viral New York magazine article, “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People,” follows a journalist (Chlumsky), who, according to the report, investigates a case involving Anna Delvey (Garner), “the Instagram-legendary German heiress who stole the hearts of New York’s social scene – and stole their money as well. But is Anna New York’s biggest con woman or is she simply the new portrait of the American dream?” The two form a unique love-hate bond and attempt to discover the biggest question in NYC: who is Anna Delvey?

Esposito will play Talia Mallay in the series, a woman very much in tune with her lavish lifestyle and the never-ending social game.

The cast also includes Katies Lowes, Laverne Cox, Alexis Floyd, Arian Moayed, Anders Holm, Anna Deavere Smith, Jeff Perry, and Terry Kinney.
