Netflix premieres on February 11, 2022 Who is Anna?, Miniseries created by Shonda Rhimes. Fiction is based on the real story of Anna Delvey, a young Russian who became a millionaire in New York to cheat banks, hotels and well-known.
In 2019 Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, was found guilty of eight fraud crimes. Already in February 2021 she was put on probation. The false heiress will be incarnated in fiction by Julia Garner.
The trailer presents Vivian (Anna Chlumsky), a journalist who investigates the case of Delvey. "Who is this person? Who is Anna Delvey? I have a story," says the reporter. "I'll tell you things from my friend Anna, I think she's a scamper," says Rachel (Katie Lowes).
The character of Lowes is inspired by Rachel Deloache Williams, who at that time worked as a photographic editor for Vanity Fair. Sorokin invited Rachel to Morocco with the promise to pay everything, but finally stripped her $ 62,000.
Jennifer Esposito, Laverne Cox, Alexis Generette Floyd, Anders Holm, Terry Kinney and Arian Moayed, among others, complete the cast. The production is based on a viral article of journalist Jessica Pressler titled How Anna Delvey Tricked New York's Party People. For its part, David Frankel, Tom Verica and Nzingha Stewart are the directors of fiction, which consists of 10 chapters.
Who is Anna? It has generated controversy, since Netflix paid a high sum to the Exconvicta for the rights of it. According to BBC, the platform delivered $ 320,000. "I never asked Netflix to buy my story, it just happened, and everything else simply escaped my control, I have not organized anything," was justified in an interview that she gave to the British chain after leaving prison.
For its part, Rhimes decided not to contact Delvey to create the series. "I did not meet it on purpose, first because I was in prison during the pandemic. And, second, I did not know her because I did not want me to influence me. Anna, as anyone can tell you, has a tremendously charismatic personality, and I did not want to meet her , I love him madly about her and be completely on her side. And I did not want to meet her either, that I did not like and be against her, "explained Variety.
