Inventing Anna Photos: Julia Garner Leads Shonda Rhimes’ Netflix Series

Netflix has released the first official photos from Shonda Rhimes’ forthcoming limited series titled Inventing Anna, centering around real-life convicted fraud Anna Delvey, who pretended to be a German heiress to fool the wealthy members of New York’s elite society. The series is expected to make its debut in 2022.

The Inventing Anna photos provide us with our first look at two-time Emmy winner Julia Garner as the titular fraudster. She will also next be seen in the upcoming final season of the acclaimed Netflix drama Ozark.

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. 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.

“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?”
