Trailer: Shonda Rhimes’ Limited Netflix Series “Inventing Anna” Explores the True Story of a Total Fake

Inspired by the true story of a total fake.

Today, Netflix released the trailer and key art for Inventing Anna. The 9-episode limited series from executive producer and showrunner Shonda Rhimes is set to debut in early February.

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?

The series is inspired by the New York Magazine article “How an Aspiring ‘It’ Girl Tricked New York’s Party People — and its Banks” by Jessica Pressler, who also serves as a producer.

Inventing Anna launches February 11 only on Netflix.
