Inspired by Jessica Pressler’s New York Magazine article, titled “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People,” the limited series is created, written, and executive produced by Shonda Rhimes, who is also serving as the showrunner.
“In Inventing Anna, a journalist with a lot to prove investigates the case of Anna Delvey, the Instagram-legendary German heiress who stole the hearts of New York’s social scene – and stole their money as well,” reads the synopsis. “But is Anna New York’s biggest con woman, or is she simply the new portrait of the American dream? Anna and the reporter form a dark, funny, love-hate bond as Anna awaits trial and our reporter fights the clock to answer the biggest question in NYC: who is Anna Delvey?”
It stars Anna Chlumsky as Vivian, Julia Garner as Anna Delvey, Arian Moayed as Todd, Katie Lowes as Rachel, Alexis Floyd as Neff, Anders Holm as Jack, Anna Deavere Smith as Maud, Jeff Perry as Lou, Terry Kinney as Barry, and Laverne Cox as Kacy.
