The plot
In Inventing Anna, a journalist who has to prove her worth investigates the case of Anna Delvey, the legendary German heiress, famous on Instagram, who won the hearts of New York society leaders while stealing their money. Are we facing New York’s biggest scammer or is it just a new embodiment of the American dream? A curiously dark love-hate bond forms between Anna and the reporter, while the former awaits the trial and the reporter faces a struggle against time to answer the question everyone in town asks: who is Anna Delvey? The series is inspired by the New York Magazine article “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People” written by Jessica Pressler.
