Julia Garner to Be Joined by Anna Chlumsky & More in Netflix's Anna Delvey Series

Julia Garner will officially take on the role of con artist Anna Delvey in the upcoming 10-episode limited series Inventing Anna, which marks Shonda Rhimes‘ new show for Netflix.

The 25-year-old Emmy-winning Ozark actress will be joined in the cast by Veep‘s Anna Chlumsky, Orange Is the New Black‘s Laverne Cox, Scandal‘s Katie Lowes, and The Bold Type‘s Alexis Floyd.

Here is the official synopsis via Netflix: “In Inventing Anna, a journalist (Chlumsky) with a lot to prove investigates the case of Anna Delvey (Garner), 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?”

Julia‘s character is “described as a young woman in her mid-20s with a hard to place European accent who takes New York by storm. Either a brilliant businesswoman or a scammer extraordinaire, Anna in turn inspires loyalty, compassion, contempt, and obsession – all while leaving behind an emotional body count,” according to THR.
