Bravo's Next Gen NYC: Complete set of cast members explored
Next Gen NYC follows the young adult children of The Real Housewives and could be thought of as a spin-off of the iconic franchise. Featuring children of well-known Housewives and other socialites, the new Bravo series follows a group of friends as they manage their daily lives and occasionally complex personal lives in front of the cameras.
The cast includes New York-native influencers, children of the Real Housewives, celebrity kids, and a few newcomers. Bravo will debut Next Gen NYC on Tuesday, June 3, at 9/8c. New episodes will air Tuesdays at 9/8c and be available to stream on Peacock the following day.
