The concept for Bravo's Next Gen NYC emerged from Brooks Marks, the son of Meredith Marks from The Real Housewives. While critics initially labeled the series as 'Bravo's nepo baby reality show', it turned into a major success. The show now holds the record for Bravo's most-watched series and season premiere of all time. As viewers became familiar with the cast's chemistry, they developed a connection to the characters, leading to increased popularity. Babich emphasizes how significant Brooks' relationships were in forming the cast and engaging the audience.
Next Gen NYC now ranks as Bravo's most-watched series and season premiere of all time, also debuting as the No. 1 most-watched Bravo episode on Peacock.
Upon first glance at the series, fans were skeptical, with some critics deeming Next Gen NYC 'Bravo's nepo baby reality show.'
But once they started watching the show, [that shifted]. ... Bravo finds great characters, and sometimes, when you're lucky, they fall in love with the characters themselves.
The showrunner birthed the idea for the show partly thanks to just one cast member she met while working as an executive producer of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
