As reported by Variety, ex-convict Anna “Delvey” Sorokin has officially landed her own reality series, Delvey’s Dinner Club. The reality show is set to film inside of Sorokin’s New York City East Village apartment, where she is currently serving house arrest. Back in 2019, Sorokin was convicted of grand larceny, in addition to various other financial crimes, for stealing over $200,000 from investors and friends. She was released from prison in 2021, after which immigration authorities detained Sorokin for overstaying her visa. She was released from ICE in October 2022 and has since remained on house arrest. Prior to her upcoming reality show, Netflix explored the life and crimes of Sorokin in the drama miniseries Inventing Anna.

A Press Release for Delvey’s Dinner Club Says ‘No Topic Is Off-limits’
A press release for the ex-convict stated that Sorokin is eager to share her story in the new series. The statement said, “She’ll do it through what’s already become one of the hottest tables in town — invitation-only, intimate dinners at her home. There, a Delvey-invited group of actors, musicians, founders, socialites, journalists, and other esteemed guests will join her each week around a private-chef catered table replete with candid conversations where no topic is off-limits – including Anna’s experience within the criminal justice system, her strategy to rebuild her image and her plans for the future.”
Delvey’s Dinner Club will take viewers behind the scenes as Sorokin “reinvents herself and her name.” The reality series will also feature interviews with Sorokin and her guests. In a statement, Sorkin said, “There’s nothing like the experience of bringing together a curated group of friends to share life stories and enjoy a great culinary experience. I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with Wheelhouse and Butternut to bring my vision to a wider audience and share a glimpse of the real Anna Delvey.”
Butternut CEO White added, “It’s often said the best way to get to know someone is to share a meal with them. 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 is breaking her story in her own words and we believe she will defy viewers’ expectations.”
