Did you know

• Lead Julia Garner actually visited Anna Delvey (born Anna Delvey Sorokin) in Rikers Island prison as part of her research for the role. In the course of their conversation, Delvey asked Garner how the shoot was going and how she was going to portray her in the series. Garner found Delvey to be quite intimidating at times, even with journalist and series co-writer Jessica Pressler present in the room throughout the interview.

• The role Anna Chlumsky is playing is based on the same journalist Julia Stiles portrayed three years earlier in Hustlers (2019)

• The producers ended up having to incorporate a "surprise ending" they had no way of knowing either when they optioned Anna's story or during filming: she was released from prison on parole in February 2021, only 20 months into her 4-to-12-year sentence, but subsequently apprehended six weeks later by American immigration authorities for overstaying her visa. At the time the series aired in February 2022, Anna was still incarcerated at a federal facility in New Jersey pending deportation back to Germany, where she remains at this writing (May 2022) pending an appeal of her deportation order.
