A few years after the viral article that started it all, con-enthusiasts are once again hooked on the story of Anna Delvey, the Netflix hit "Inventing Anna," a fictional socialite who works to open an exclusive club in New York City, shopping at high-end boutiques and five-star hotels, and stays in hotels, the film follows the adventures of a faux socialite. The only problem was that she didn't have the money to support her lifestyle.

Whether she was an ambitious entrepreneur or a label-obsessed con artist, viewers loved Shondaland's new show, which quickly rose to #1 on Netflix's Top 10. Will the publicity be enough to produce a second season of "Inventing Anna"?

The nine-episode season ended with Anna's trial, as a con artist played by Julia Garner stalled the hearing with her costume demands. In the end, her lawyer Todd Spodek (Arianne Mooride) convinces her to trust him to proceed with the trial, with Neff (Alexis Floyd) and Vivian (Anna Chlumsky) helping as best they can. Todd also tries to get Anna's father to come to the trial throughout the trial, but without success.

After Rachel's (Katie Lowes) emotional testimony, at the reading of the verdict, the jury acquits Anna on charges related to the bank loan and having Rachel pay for the Moroccan trip. Anna was found guilty of theft against a store, a hotel, and a private jet company, for which the actual Delvey served four years in prison.

The finale ends with a final meeting between Anna and Vivian at Rikers. As Anna begs Vivian to continue the visit, Vivian, who has long insulted her intelligence and appearance, decides to leave Anna Delvey's story. The film concludes the story of the series that follows a journalist who becomes involved with Anna through her interviews.

Simply put, no. The show is billed as a limited series based on journalist Jessica Pressler's 2018 article (opens in new tab), and the first season includes almost all of the facts from the article about Delvey's life and testimony from her friends and acquaintances. Neither Netflix nor Shondaland expressed any hint that they wanted the show to continue, and the finale nearly completed the arc of the show.

As for Delvey's post-verdict developments (opens in new tab), the second season will draw inspiration from "Orange is the New Black" more than anything else; after being released on good behavior in early 2021, Delvey was released from immigration detention for overstaying his visa in He was free for only six weeks before being detained by the Immigration Bureau for overstaying his visa. Since the crook is still in custody today, a show about her life up to this point would be much less glamorous than "Inventing Anna" Season 1.

Ultimately, one cannot expect any more fictionalized episodes of Anna's journey.

This week, Deadline (open in new tab) reported that Delvey (née Sorokin) is teaming with the production company behind Surviving R. Kelly to produce a documentary about herself. The documentary has reportedly been in the works for several months and will provide a fascinating look at Delvey. It may also provide a look at her behavior immediately after her release, as she posted a photo taken with a camera crew shortly after her release,

and it may also provide a glimpse into her life after her release, as she was released from prison.

We may also be able to learn about Delvey's plans from Rachel's perspective. A former friend of Delvey's, Rachel DeRoche Williams (open in new tab), has written a book called "My Friend Anna" about her friendship with Anna, its dissolution, and the subsequent trial. The book was previously optioned by HBO and Lena Dunham, but Williams says the project is not currently in development. Another streamer may be on the Delvey train.

If you can't imagine going any longer without great con-artist content (opens in new tab), there will be a few more shows to check out in the coming weeks. First, if you missed it, turn on Netflix's "The Tinder Swindler" immediately to see the women who were duped by their fake billionaire boyfriends into lending them hundreds of thousands of dollars. Then add the upcoming Elizabeth Holmes series ("The Dropout," Hulu, March 3) and the WeWork series ("WeCrashed," Apple TV+, March 18) to your watch list. Or, if you're still upset that Delvey knew Billy McFarland (and may have scammed him (opens in new tab)), the "Fyre" docs are always good for a re-watch.
