Netflix debuted a first look at “Inventing Anna,” Shonda Rhimes’ new limited series set to premiere in 2022.
Inspired by Jessica Pressler’s New York Magazine article “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People,” the series follows Vivian Kent (Anna Chlumsky), a journalist investigating the case of Anna Delvey (Julia Garner), the German heiress and Instagram celebrity who broke into New York’s social scene to make friends and then steal their money. As Vivian questions whether Anna is anything more than a con woman, the two begin to develop a love-hate bond. Arian Moayed, Katie Lowes, Alexis Floyd, Anders Holm , Anna Deavere Smith, Jeff Perry, Terry Kinney and Laverne Cox also star.
The first look photos show Anna at both high and low points — enjoying herself while dressed in designer fashion and being visited by Vivian in jail.
Rhimes serves as creator and showrunner. Writers include Matt Byrne,...

Ambitions star Robin Givens and creator/producer Jamey Giddens.Writer and producer Jamey Giddens made a name for himself covering soap operas for Daytime Confidential for more than a decade. His hilarious and insightful podcast commentary, and fascinating interviews, set him apart in the crowded blogosphere, not to mention the fact that he broke more news than every other soap opera journalist combined. What really made it work was his genuine love for the soaps as a lifelong viewer, combined with a deep understanding of how to tell stories as a talented writer. It was no surprise when he was asked to co-write the first season of Victoria Rowell's comedy series The Rich and the Ruthless, and earned an Indie Series Award nomination for his work.

Writer Kevin Arkadie has built a career telling crime stories on top-notch shows such as The Shield and NYPD Blue. Now he's turning those talents to the story of Larry Davis, a New Yorker who became something of a folk hero in the mid '80s following a police shootout and 17-day manhunt. Variety reports that Arkadie will write a script about Davis for Epoch, with the film set to begin shooting in the Bronx next summer. The deal is well timed, because Saturday is the 25th anniversary of the shootout, which began when police raided the Bronx apartment of Davis' sister on November 19th, 1986. Officially, the raid was intended to bring Davis in for questioning about four dead drug dealers. However, Davis' defense attorneys later claimed that was just a cover story to allow the cops to kill Davis, who supposedly had the goods on several corrupt police officers.
