1. Brooks Marks

Brooks Marks is one of the Next Gen NYC cast members that Bravo fans are definitely already familiar with. Brooks Marks is 25 years old and the son of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Meredith Marks, but is also an Instagram influencer in his own right. In the trailer for Next Gen NYC, Brooks Marks is shown accusing his RHOSLC snowflake holder mom of having a "tumultuous work relationship" with him.

2. Gia Giudice

Gia Giudice is no stranger to the Bravo cameras as the daughter of Teresa Giudice, star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Although Gia Giudice was previously planning on attending law school, her mom recently shared that she put her law career on hold to focus on her influencer career, including her newly launched podcast and now, Next Gen NYC.

3. Hudson McLeroy

Hudson McLeroy is new to the Bravo world, but he's already got a major connection to another Next Gen NYC cast member: he's been in an off-again-on-again relationship with co-star and daughter of an RHOA star Ariana Biermann. According to Bravo, Hudson McLeroy is a young investor who is moving to New York City in the name of love to try to make his relationship with Ariana Biermann, daughter of The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kim Zolciak, work out.

4. Ava Dash

Ava Dash may be new to the Bravo world, but she's definitely not a newcomer to the spotlight. Ava Dash is the daughter or Rachel Roy and Damon Dash. Rachel Roy is a fashion designer and former creative director at Rocawear while Damon Dash is a record label executive best known for being a co-founder of Roc-A-Fella.

5. Emira D'Spain

Another newbie to Bravo, Emira D'Spain is already an accomplished young influencer who is always on the cutting edge of what's hot in the world of fashion and beauty. Emira D'Spain was born in Dubai before she moved to Dallas, Texas and eventually relocated to the Big Apple. She's an NYU graduate who is Paper magazine’s beauty director and has over a million TikTok followers.

6. Shai Frutcher

Shai Frutcher is another newbie to the Bravo universe and is joining the Next Gen NYC cast as someone who grew up internationally before moving to New Jersey and has now made his way to Manhattan. Along with being new to the Bravo world, Shai Frutcher is new to this friend group and according to Bravo, joining this friend group might have Shai Frutcher in over his head throughout the season.

7. Riley Burruss

Even though Kandi Burruss didn't return to The Real Housewives of Atlanta for the current season, her daughter Riley Burruss will be part of the Next Gen NYC cast -- and it looks like her mom will be featured occasionally in the show through Riley Burruss. In the trailer, Riley Burruss finds herself in some hot water when Kandi Burruss asks if the shopping spree Riley went on was put on one of her mom's credit cards.

8. Georgia McCann

Unlike some of the other Next Gen NYC cast members who are moving to the Big Apple at the start of the show, Georgia McCann grew up in NYC and she says that she wants to protect the city she loves from the new wave of "developers and finance bros," Bravo says of this New Yorker. Considering a couple other members of the Next Gen NYC cast describe themselves as investors and crypto traders, it seems like she might find herself butting heads with other cast members throughout the season.

9. Ariana Biermann

Ariana Biermann is the daughter of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak, so she's already familiar with the Bravo cameras and has grown up in the spotlight. So, that means that fans shouldn't be surprised that the trailer for Next Gen NYC appears to show her butting heads with fellow Bravo baby Brooks Marks at a dinner with the rest of the cast.

10. Charlie Zakkour

Charlie Zakkour isn't new to NYC, but he is new to the Bravo world. He's connected to the Next Gen NYC cast through his friendship with Ava Dash and according to Bravo, he's ready to spend the summer single and ready to have a good time in the big city. Charlie Zakkour is reportedly into trading crypto, which means that he might find himself at odds with Georgia McCann as the season progresses.

Next Gen NYC airs Tuesdays on Bravo beginning on June 3 at 9 p.m. ET with episodes available for streaming the following day on Peacock.
