Inventing Anna

Inventing Anna is a Netflix limited series, based on Jessica Pressler's New York Magazine story "How Anna Delvey Tricked New York's Party People".

Synopsis
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.

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?
