She convinced New York’s elite that she was a fabulously wealthy German heiress, lived the high life and dreamed of creating an exclusive members’ club in Manhattan.

There was just one problem: Anna Delvey wasn’t quite who she claimed to be.

Originally released in February 2022, this week’s Seeing Red: Second Look returns to the remarkable story of Anna Sorokin — better known as Anna Delvey. Mark has recorded a new introduction explaining why, more than four years later, he wanted to revisit the case, as well as bringing Anna’s extraordinary story up to date.

And the timing is rather fitting: November 2026 marks ten years since Anna began pursuing a $22 million loan to fund her ambitious Anna Delvey Foundation.

Listening back, Mark was struck again by Anna’s apparent loneliness and by the sympathy he felt for this strangely compelling anti-hero. And Anna certainly hasn’t disappeared since we last left her: there have been immigration battles, house arrest, an electronic ankle monitor turned fashion accessory and even Dancing with the Stars.

Whether you heard it back in 2022 or are discovering her story for the first time, this is Seeing Red: Second Look — Anna Delvey: The Fake Heiress of New York.

Originally released in February 2022 and newly remastered, with a new introduction and update.
