Bravo recently aired its newest show, Next Gen NYC. So far, it has become a fairly buzz-worthy show thanks in part to the personal revelations made by Ariana Biermann. However, a new report states that the series was initially intended to feature several others, but they dropped out after disagreeing with the show’s direction.
Next Gen NYC follows the lives of several children of well-known people as they navigate life in New York City. As mentioned, the series has made headlines after Ariana admitted that her parents took money from her brand deal revenue. Additionally, she has been honest on the show about having to send her mother money due to their financial struggles.
Recently, Savatore on X took to the platform to share a photo of Riley Burruss, along with a group of other people reported to have been part of the original Next Gen NYC cast. The caption states, “These 5 girls were originally cast on #NextGenNYC with Charlie, Dylan, Brooks & Conor Kennedy — but Ming, Conor, Dylan, and the blonde on the left dropped out when Gia & Ariana were cast. Dylan agreed to be a guest in the end.”

It continued, “So random, but I wish we saw Ming.” From there, Savatore went on to explain in the comments that he got this information from Reddit. If true, a producer tried to add Gia and Ariana to the series mere weeks before filming began.
KG Summer also posted on the platform, saying, “Cats out of the bag. Half the cast quit when RH dorters joined. This guy returned as a friend of. A person who posts under the name KC then shared, “allegedly half the cast of #NextGenNYC quit when gia & ariana joined the cast! (Riley Burruss not included bc she was a part of the original cast.)”
