Anna Sorokin to film new reality show amidst house arrest

Ex-convict Anna Sorokin is set to star in a new reality show, Delvey's Dinner Club, despite being under house arrest.

The controversial socialite-scammer, also known as Anna Delvey, revealed on Jan. 25 that the unscripted series will be filmed inside her East Village Manhattan apartment where she stayed since October while waiting for a decision on her immigration case. 

"There's nothing like the experience of bringing together a curated group of friends to share life stories and enjoy a great culinary experience," Anna, who just turned 32, shared.

According to a source, the series will be produced by Butternut and Wheelhouse and will feature "a Delvey-invited group of actors, musicians, founders, socialites, journalists and other esteemed guests" who will share over the table in a dinner party hosted by the fraud artist.

In her show, she will discuss everything from her experience within the criminal justice system and the rebuilding of her name as a con artist.

"I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with Wheelhouse and Butternut to bring my vision to a wider audience and share a glimpse of the real Anna Delvey," she added.

The producers described the show as "one of the hottest tables in town—invitation-only, intimate dinners at her home" with no definite airing slot yet, per the same press. 

Meanwhile, Julia Garner is rumored to be one on the list of guests, who played Anna onscreen in Netflix's Inventing Anna, a 2022 limited series inspired by the fraudster's life.

Anna, who was born in Russia, was convicted in 2019 for attempted grand larceny after using her fake persona as a wealthy German heiress "Anna Delvey" to con New York socialites to spend invalid credit cards and issue fake bank statements. 

Anna is currently under arrest in an apartment in New York City while fighting deportation to Germany.
