Cocktailers, we got this email to the Send Us Tea inbox…looks like NBCU thinks that Next Gen NYC is the future of the network! We often get emails that read like a publicist wrote it, like this one. If so, whose publicist do we think wrote this? Meredith Marks? Ariana Biermann? NBCU?

Subject: Bravo’s New Hit: Younger Audience, New Stars, and a Future Franchise
Spill It to BravoandCocktails.com:
Anon please:
NBCU is obsessed with Next Gen NYC. They genuinely think they’ve found their next big signature franchise, like what Real Housewives was for them years ago. The plan is to build out a full Next Gen universe, with other cities already being discussed for future spin-offs. London has been mentioned and so has LA.
Bravo is thrilled because this show finally pulls in the younger audience they’ve been chasing — late teens/early 20s etc — and the cast feels fresh but still delivers the drama. Ariana is 100% the breakout star – think Stassi during early VPR, Paige during Summer House’s glow-up, Kathryn in early Southern Charm. Expect her to blow up fast.
Also Meredith is the “Lisa Vanderpump” or “Patricia Altschul” of the show. She films almost every episode and plays a huge role behind the scenes helping guide the younger cast as they navigate life (and drama) in NYC. She really ties everything together.

Meredith is no LVP or Miss Patricia. Unless she really revamps her image. She comes across as cold, aloof, and pill induced on rhoslc. No charisma no personality
Lol okay, sure.
Meredith : films every episode of this but storms out of every scene in RHOSLC bc she’s ’had enough’ 🤦🏼♀️
I’m sorry but we don’t need Meredith involved. Let the kids do their thing.
If this is the future and Meredith is the new ‘matriarch’, Hulu better come out with more ideas, because Bravo won’t be it for me
Thanks for the update Gia
Truly shocked to see Meredith as den mother/ matriarch. Will watch because I want to see how this plays out but I find her insufferable on SLC…
100% Arianna’s
K us bravo viewers will be the judge of its a new breakout show. I can see this being true though, since bravo viewers love the kids of the shows.
Dying at them comparing Ariana to early Kathryn on SC! I’ve always loved Ariana so we’ll see what happens!
Teresa or Luis’ wrote this so Gia can start paying their bills
Ariana, sit down. You don’t need your boyfriend’s chicken money to try to make you someone by writing fake blinds to gossip pages. You’re only setting yourself up to follow in mama’s footsteps right down to the basement living quarters of whatever overpriced home you convince chicken boy to buy you.
Meredith gives me Parker Posey from White Lotus vibes – “I need my lorazepam. Broooks, where is my lorazepam?”
