Fake German heiress Anna Delvey is shopping in a reality series set in a Manhattan apartment where she hosts dinner parties while serving her house arrest.

  • The working title of the show is Delvey’s Dinner Club and he has signed with a producer.
  • Delvey’s Dinner Club would feature guests eating at Delvey’s New York apartment
  • Delvey, also known as Anna Sorokin, posed as a German heiress in New York for years.

Anna Sorokin is buying into a reality show about her life, which she said will provide a “peek into the real woman” who has posed as fake German heiress Anna Delvey for years.

Tentatively titled ‘Delvey’s Dinner Club’, the show would see the 32-year-old inviting guests to the New York City apartment where she is serving her house arrest as they have candid and candid conversations about her life and crimes.

The show has already signed on with production company Butternut, run by former Food Network president Courtney White and Wheelhouse Entertainment media mogul Bren Montgomery.

Butternut and Sorokin are currently buying the project on platforms in the hope that they will pick it up. Netflix previously paid Sorokin about $350,000 to do a dramatization of his story.

In a statement, Sorokin spoke up, saying she was excited at the prospect of bringing together a “selected group of friends” on her show.

“There’s nothing like the experience of bringing together a select group of friends to share life stories and enjoy a great culinary experience,” he said.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Wheelhouse and Butternut to bring my vision to a broader audience and share a glimpse of the real Anna Delvey.”

White added that the show would reveal “who Anna really is”.

“It is often said that the best way to meet someone is to share a meal with them. We are all desperate to know who Anna really is,” White said.

‘Delvey’s Dinner Club will reveal the real woman behind everything we’ve read and seen about Anna. She is telling her story in her own words and we think it will defy viewers’ expectations.”

The show’s “esteemed guests” will be encouraged to ask Sorokin about his criminal exploits, according to a press release.

It will also focus on Sorokin’s experience living under house arrest in the East Village apartment he has been living in since his release from prison last fall.

Sorokin was found guilty of grand theft in 2019 and was also jailed by immigration for overstaying her visa.

For years she posed as Anna Delvey, a German heiress of her own invention, and conned New York City’s elite into giving her hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In reality, he was born to working-class Russian parents and grew up in Germany, before moving to New York City in 2013 to begin his ruse, which included fabricating financial documents to support his claims of running multi-million-dollar trust funds and defrauding banks, brokers real estate agents and friends to pay for his luxurious life.

Sentenced to 12 years in prison for her crimes, she served only two of them for good conduct.

Delvey’s Dinner Club would not be his first foray into television.

Last year she was played by actress Julia Garner in the miniseries Inventing Anna, written by Shonda Rhimes.

He used the more than a quarter of a million dollars that Netflix gave him for the show to pay off some of the victims of his scam.

Sorokin was placed under house arrest in October 2022 after 18 months in ICE custody. The judge ruled that she was not a danger to the public as she posted $10,000 bail.

“I feel like I deserve a second chance, it was my mistake that I made and I did my time and I feel like I should deserve a second chance,” he said in an interview with CNN in October from his East Village apartment.

Sorokin faces deportation to Germany after completing his criminal sentence in February 2021, for grand theft and theft convictions totaling $275,000, including theft of at least one flight on a private plane.
