- Convicted con artist Anna Sorokin is set to work on her own reality show, filmed in her home.
- Sorokin is currently serving house arrest in a New York apartment after overstaying her visa.
Anna Sorokin, aka Anna Delvey, has landed a reality show to be filmed while she's under house arrest in her apartment.
The convicted con artist will host invitation-only dinner parties for "a rolodex of celebrities, moguls, and glitterati" in her home, in an unscripted series called "Delvey's Dinner Club," according to a press release for the show.
The reality show will feature Sorokin and her guests discussing her time in prison, her strategy to rebuild her reputation, and her isolation during house arrest, the statement said.
"Delvey's Dinner Club" is to be produced by Wheelhouse Entertainment, a media company created in partnership with show host Jimmy Kimmel, and a company called Butternut.
The CEO of Butternut, Courtney White, said in the press release that the show would "defy viewers' expectations."
"We're all desperate to know who Anna really is. Delvey's Dinner Club will reveal the actual woman behind everything we've read and watched about Anna," she said.
Sorokin told PageSix that her dream guests for "Delvey's Dinner Club" include Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, Madonna, Elon Musk, former Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, Serbian performance artist Marina Abramović, and award-winning author Ottessa Moshfegh.
She also wants to host disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who was arrested in December and faces fraud charges, and his ex-girlfriend, Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison, who pleaded guilty to seven counts of fraud, per PageSix.
"There's nothing like the experience of bringing together a curated group of friends to share life stories and enjoy a great culinary experience," Sorokin said in the press release for "Delvey's Dinner Club."
Sorokin gained notoriety for scamming New York's downtown socialite scene for five years as a fake German heiress, and was convicted in 2019 for attempted grand larceny. She has since paid back the $200,000 that she swindled from banks and financial institutions.
She shot to fame after her exploits were detailed in journalist Jessica Pressler's New York Magazine article, and gained further attention after Netflix released "Inventing Anna," a nine-episode series based on Pressler's investigation.
After serving her prison sentence on Rikers Island, Sorokin was arrested in 2021 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for overstaying her visa. She was released in October and is now under house arrest at her East Village apartment.
Sorokin's lawyer, Duncan Levin, previously told PageSix that she was planning to work on a reality show, and said it would focus on her "as a person and as a talented artist" in an attempt to ditch her image as a con artist.
"The collateral consequences of criminal convictions are really ruinous. Everyone she speaks to initially thinks of her as a con artist and so she has an uphill battle," Levin told PageSix on January 9.
He said Sorokin has "adoring fans" who praise her "entrepreneurial spirit" instead of dwelling on how she bluffed her way into luxury hotel stays and expensive trips, Levin added, per the outlet.
Levin did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
