New Yorkers, watch out: The houswives’ nepo babies are causing drama all over the city for their new reality show, Next Gen NYC. Yup, it’s giving the reality show, mid-twenties version of Gossip Girl, and Bravo kids Ariana Biermann, Gia Giudice, Riley Burruss, and Brooks Marks are the main characters. In the new chaotic series, they navigate adulthood and get into messy drama in the Big Apple alongside other super rich Gen Z New Yorkers. (Everyone knows it’s especially tricky to make it in the city when you’re loaded and semi-famous!) Naturally, Bravolebrity parents will also make an appearance and help stir the pot. I fear this is about to be my new favorite show… Here’s the Next Gen NYC trailer, plus everything to know about the cast, plot, and release date.
Ariana, Gia, Riley, and Brooks will star in the show alongside rising It Girls and Guys: Ava Dash, Emira D’Spain, Shai Fruchter, Georgia McCann, Hudson McLeroy, and Charlie Zakkour. Together, they go on a wholesome journey to find themselves and form meaningful connections with each other. JK! Georgia describes the friend group as a “beautiful hot mess” and that description seems pretty accurate, based on the two-minute trailer. In the teaser, the crew takes a double-decker bus tour (as all real New Yorkers do) and attack each other over style and 10k monthly allowances from rich parents. I’m so jealous, it hurts.

If you’re fans of the kids’ parents, good news: Kandi Burruss (RHOA), Teresa Giudice (RHONJ), Meredith and Seth Marks (RHOSLC), and Kim Zolciak-Biermann (RHOA) are all set to appear on the first season of Next Gen NYC. So yeah, the kiddos are not exactly ~making it on their own~.
The cast bios tease what’s in store for the Bravo kids this season. Gia’s “determined to juggle her busy schedule, long-term boyfriend, and nonstop hustle between New Jersey and Manhattan.” The struggle! And yes, she’s put law school on pause for now. Brooks is evidently ready to “forge his path — out from under his mother’s shadow — but keeps getting pulled back into family drama.” We’ll find out if he’s finally ready to “put himself first.” The suspense is already killing me…
Riley is busy “landing high-profile internships across the city” and dealing with friendship drama. Apparently, things are “get a lot spicier” when her childhood friend, Ariana, reenters her life. Meanwhile, Ariana’s following her dream of launching a streetwear line and it seems like she’s having a totally smooth transition to NYC. “I’m absolutely fucking petrified actually,” she says in the subway.
