Bravo’s next generation has arrived!
On Tuesday, April 8, Bravo announced new series Next Gen NYC, which features the children of Bravo stars, as well as a group of newcomers, as they navigate young adulthood in New York City.
The show stars Ariana Biermann, the daughter of Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kim Zolciak Biermann; Riley Burruss, the daughter of Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kandi Burruss; Gia Giudice, the daughter of Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice; Brooks Marks, the son of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Meredith Marks; and Ava Dash, the daughter of music mogul Damon Dash and fashion icon Rachel Roy. The cast also includes model and influencer Emira D’Spain, Shai Fruchter, New York City it-girl Georgia McCann, Biermann’s on-off boyfriend Hudson McLeroy and crypto trader Charlie Zakkour.

According to Bravo, Next Gen NYC will follow the group of friends who grew up in or near the spotlight as they “stumble into adulthood one brunch, breakup and spontaneous decision at a time.” “Whether stepping out of their parents’ shadows or creating their own legacies from scratch, these 20-somethings are determined to conquer Manhattan — if they can figure out how to adult first,” reads a press release from Bravo. “Together, they’ll navigate friendships, careers and romance, proving that trouble runs on espresso martinis and questionable decisions.”
In a sneak peek of the show, Georgia describes the group as “a beautiful hot mess.”
“Everyone in this group is going to say what they’re thinking,” Emira, 28, says.

Ava, 25, adds, “We’re all just here together trying to make it.”
And they each have their own way of going about that.
“You still get money from your dad, 10K a month in allowance,” Georgia says to Charlie in the preview.
He responds, “You would not be on this show if it weren’t for me!”

Ariana, 23, finds herself “absolutely petrified” on the New York City subway and wonders “who the f— is Ben Affleck?” after Brooks, 25, confuses him for Adam Sandler.
While their parents might be the reason they’ve ended up in the limelight, that doesn’t mean the young stars always appreciate their moms and dads.
“My mom and I have a tumultuous work relationship,” Brooks says in the sneak peek video.

However, Meredith, 53, doesn’t agree. “I don’t know why you say that,” she says.
But Brooks came with receipts. “You fired me last week!” he reminds his mom.
When Riley racks up a big bill, Kandi, 48, tells her 22-year-old daughter, “It better not be on the card I pay for!”
While Kandi announced her departure from RHOA in February 2024, she told PEOPLE that Riley doing reality TV makes her “still part of that family.” “I’m still there!” the Xscape singer said.
