They say if you can make it in New York then you can make it anywhere, and several twentysomethings — including a few familiar faces — are trying to make their mark in the City that Never Sleeps on the debut season of Next Gen NYC.
The new Bravo series follows a group of friends — featuring Real Housewives kids, celebrity kids, New York natives, and new faces — as they navigate their careers and sometimes-complicated personal lives in front of the cameras.
Next Gen NYC premieres on Tuesday, June 3 at 9/8c on Bravo. Episodes air on Tuesdays at 9/8c, and they will be available to stream on Peacock the next day.
Real Housewives kids Gia Giudice, Ariana Biermann, Brooks Marks, and Riley Burruss are part of the cast (and their moms will all be making cameos on the show).
Ava Dash, who is the daughter of Damon Dash and Rachel Roy, is also in the cast, as is Ariana’s boyfriend, Hudson McLeroy.
Emira D’Spain, Shai Fruchter, Georgia McCann, and Charlie Zakkour round out the group for Next Gen NYC Season 1.
What to expect from Next Gen NYC Season 1
An announcement for the series teases that the show follows the aforementioned cast “as they establish their identity while diving headfirst into the chaos that is NYC living.”
Conflicts arise between Gia Giudice, Brooks Marks, and Ariana Biermann
The trailer for Next Gen NYC shows that during one particular group dinner, tensions begin to rise for Gia, Brooks, and Ariana.
“Shut the f–k up,” Gia says in one moment, though it’s unclear what she’s upset about.
At the same gathering, Ariana seemingly calls Brooks out for being “a d–k.”
“This is so stupid,” Gia adds.
Real Housewives cameos
After moving to New York (and feeling “absolutely petrified” by the subway), Ariana meets up with her mom, The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak, and Riley to discuss a big bill that the group racked up.
“So we get the bill, $14,000 over,” Ariana says to a shocked Kim, who promises to call Riley’s mom, Kandi Burruss.
“It better not be on the card I pay for,” Kandi reacts when she hears the news.
Brooks also sees his parents, Seth Marks and Meredith Marks from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, to chat about his future in New York — and his attachment to his mom.
“My mom and I have a tumultuous work relationship,” Brooks says, much to Meredith’s surprise. “You fired me last week.”
Meredith and The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Teresa Giudice later meet up with their kids, and Teresa promises Brooks that Gia will “always have [his] back.”
Ava Dash clashes with Ariana Biermann about fashion
Ava, meanwhile, gets a visit from her dad, Damon Dash in the teaser. As a model, she’s also a bit critical of Ariana’s desire to release a fashion line.
“Every time I’ve seen her, I didn’t think she has the best style for a fashion designer,” Ava admits.
“Excuse me,” Ariana responds. “Becky with the good hair? I want Ava with the bitch ass attitude.”
Drama over money
During a particularly tense moment in the trailer, Georgia confronts Charlie about the $10,000 a month allowance he allegedly still gets from his dad. He then breaks the fourth wall and says, “You would not be on this show if it weren’t for me.”
Stay tuned for even more on Next Gen NYC. In the meantime, get the details on Gia’s latest career move.
