Introducing the Cast of ‘Next Gen NYC’ and Their Previous Roles

Bravo introduces Gen-Z in the exciting new series “Next Gen NYC.”

The network, known for hits like “The Real Housewives,” offered a sneak peek of Season 1 on April 7. The trailer features young adults, some familiar from Bravo’s previous shows, navigating the dynamic streets of New York with ambitious aspirations and influential social circles.

In one notable moment from the trailer, Ariana Biermann, 23, daughter of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Kim Zolciak-Biermann, surprises her mother by revealing that she and her friends accumulated a bill of at least “$14,000” during a night out. The scene then shifts to Kandi Burruss, another former “RHOA” star, cautioning her daughter Riley, 22, that the bill shouldn’t end up on her card.

The trailer also hints at the show’s underlying drama; Teresa Giudice’s daughter, Gia Giudice, 24, is seen telling another cast member to “shut the f–k up” during a dinner gathering.
