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.
