The show is based on a real-life infamous con artist named Anna Delvey later, to find out her real name is Anna Sorkin. Delvey pretends to be a German heiress and scams New York’s elites. The series follows the people Delvey deceived and everyone in between. A journalist named Vivian is assigned to interview and investigate Delvey. What inspired Rhimes to create this show was when she read a New York Magazine story called, How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People by Jessica Parker. In real life, Delvey is currently held in ICE custody and faces deportation back to Germany. During an interview with Variety, Rhimes explained why Anna Delvey’s story caught her interest.

“She’s got an eidetic memory. She speaks all these languages. There wasn’t much different about her than any other boy genius who takes over Manhattan — except for the fact that she was a woman.”
“Had she been a man, I’m not sure it would have caused such a ruckus,” Rhimes added. “If she had been a hot chick, I’m not sure she would have caused such a ruckus. But because she was an ordinary-looking woman, who was smart and brilliant and went for what she wanted, and felt no remorse about it, people were outraged or shocked or stunned or fascinated.”
“I don’t think she did anything different than what any guy on Wall Street’s done,” Rhimes continued. “None of them have done any time, and she’s been in jail for quite a while. Not to say she didn’t do anything wrong! I’m just saying: Gender did play a part.”
