Inventing Anna

FRIDAY, FEB. 11, NETFLIX

Anna Delvey is a German heiress. Or the daughter of a Russian businessman. Wait, is her last name even Delvey? During the mid-2010s, the enigmatic redhead with the curious accent (Ozark's Julia Garner, right) insinuated herself into Manhattan society, conning people and businesses out of hundreds of thousands of dollars until her 2017 arrest. This limited series from Shonda Rhimes recounts Delvey's bonkers, only-inNew York story-and a hungry journalist's (Anna Chlumsky) pursuit of it. I want people to be like, 'Oh, my God, she's crazy!'Garner says of her character. But then also like, 'Yes, Anna! You go, girl!'- Eric Andersson

The Crown

NOVEMBER NETFLIX

Like the crown jewels, details of this drama about the British royals are under lock and key, but here's what we do know: For Season 5, the cast reboots, with Imelda Staunton (above) as Queen Elizabeth II, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Dominic West as Prince Charles and Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana. Season 4 ended with Di and Charles' marriage in crisis, so expect to see their divorce unfold. How can we keep calm and carry on until November?! - Jim Halterman
