Inspired by the true story of a total fake! Netflix revealed the first official teaser for Inventing Anna, a limited series that is set to premiere on February 11 on the streaming service.

Who is Anna Delvey? That’s the question for which everyone wants an answer. 2-time Emmy winner Julia Garner, best known for the role of Ruth Langmore on Ozark TV show, is playing a convicted scammer Anna Delvey (real name Anna Sorokin) who pretended to be a wealthy heiress, but actually didn’t have a dime on her name. She managed to charm and/or manipulate many people, as well as banks and hotels to steal their money between 2013 and 2017. She was arrested in 2017, and in 2019 she was sentenced to 4 to 12 years in prison.

Real Anna Delvey was released from prison earlier this year. Netflix bought her life story to adapt it into a limited series, and Delvey used the money to pay back the restitution. Soon after her release from prison, Delvey was taken into the custody of ICE, where she remained to this day, awaiting deportation to Germany, where she’s from.

Shonda Rhimes, known for TV shows Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, is a showrunner and a producer with her production company Shondaland. Inventing Anna limited series will consist of nine episodes. Also starring Anna Chlumsky, Laverne Cox, Katie Lowes, and Alexis Floyd, the series will debut on Netflix on February 11, 2022.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
