This Incredible Story Is True And At Times Beyond Belief

Let’s start with what we know to be true……Anna Sorokin was a Russian-born German who moved to New York in 2013 and set herself up with a fake identity as Anna Delvey, supposedly an uber-rich German heiress.

She told her new friends that her wealth totaled around $60 million, but frequently managed to get her high-society acquaintances to foot the bill for hotel stays, restaurant visits and shopping trips by claiming her money was stuck overseas or that she had forgotten her wallet. In reality, she wasn’t wealthy and was scamming everyone she came into contact with, eventually that included the upper crust of NYC. In the end, Sorokin was convicted of larceny and theft of services, was imprisoned from 2019 until February 2021, and in March was taken into custody to be deported back to Germany. But there is so much more to know!

Coming to NETFLIX on February 11th is a 9 episode series that follows a journalist as she begins investigating Sorokin’s crimes as she awaited trial. Inspired by the New York Magazine article ‘How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People’ by Jessica Pressler, it sees reporter Vivian question whether Sorokin really was a con woman, or just the latest incarnation of the American Dream.

Anna is played by Julia Garner, best known for playing Ruth in the Netflix series Ozark and Terra in another Netflix true crime series, Dirty John. She is absolutely amazing in everything she has done so far.

Playing journalist Vivian is Anna Chlumsky, best known for her starring role in My Girl and recently in VEEP.

Laverne Cox (Orange Is The New Black), Katie Lowes (Scandal) and Alexis Floyd (The Bold Type) also appear.

I cant wait!!!!
