Next Gen NYC is returning for a second season, Bravo has officially announced.
The news of the renewal comes exactly three months after the series concluded its eight-episode first season earlier this year, on July 22.
Bravo has additionally confirmed that the full Next Gen NYC season one cast is returning for season two.
Season one of Next Gen NYC notably featured four children of Real Housewives stars, marking the first time the kids of beloved Bravo women stepped into the spotlight solo of their mothers. Brooks Marks (son to RHOSLC‘s Meredith Marks), Ariana Biermann (daughter to RHOA‘s Kim Zolciak-Biermann), Riley Burruss (daughter to RHOA‘s Kandi Burruss) and Gia Giudice (daughter to RHONJ‘s Teresa Giudice) all starred in season one.
When speaking with The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year, Next Gen NYC creator and executive producer Michaline Babich explained that the idea for the series arose from her time working on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. The crux of the cast was assembled around Marks’ friend group in New York City — not the idea of a show with the offspring of housewives.
“I think many production companies will say that they’ve pitched, you know, ‘We should do something with the housewives’ kids.’ But that’s a concept, not a cast,” she said. “It really did come out of Brooks, and he had a group of friends in New York.”
The Real Housewives children weren’t the only cast members accustomed to the limelight, as Ava Dash, daughter to Damon Dash, also took part in the series. Charlie Zakkour, Shai Fruchter, Georgia McCann, Emira D’Spain and Hudson McLeroy rounded out the cast.
Season two of Next Gen NYC will have no shortage of content, as the cast continues to juggle many shifting dynamics. Biermann and McLeroy, who dated on-and-off for years since high school, recently announced their split while Ava’s father, Damon, also filed for bankruptcy.
More to come.
