Bravo Planning Next Gen LA?! Adrienne Maloof’s Kids, Cynthia’s Daughter & More in Talks – But Is It Too Much?
Are we expanding too fast, or is Bravo actually on to something? Bravo might just be doing that thing again. You know what I mean… when something works, they spin it, flip it, remix it, and bring it back in ten new versions. Think: Housewives, Million Dollar Listing, even Below Deck. So now the latest rumor is that Next Gen NYC, which has taken off thanks to the kids of iconic housewives like Ariana Biermann, Riley Burruss, and Brooks Marks, is about to get its own Los Angeles version. Yep. Next Gen LA might be coming!
Do we love this? Or are we just watering down a strong cocktail?
Because part of the charm of Next Gen NYC is that it’s niche, new, and has that real, gritty, Gen Z-in-Manhattan energy. It works because it’s specific. It’s not Housewives 2.0—it’s Housewives reimagined through their kids. But do we need a carbon copy of that in LA?
According to the whispers, Bravo is tossing around names like:
    •    Adrienne Maloof’s sons
• Cynthia Bailey’s daughter, Noelle Robinson
• Maybe even one of Kyle Richards’ daughters (Farrah? Sophia? Who knows!)
And listen, I’m not saying I wouldn’t watch. I’m just saying, be careful, Bravo. Because sometimes less is more, and other times, more is just… The Real Friends of WeHo.
Now don’t get me wrong, the West Coast kids could bring a whole different vibe—Hollywood elite, influencer energy, Brentwood brunches, Rodeo rendezvous. It’s tempting. But let’s not lose what made the original feel special… it wasn’t the zip code, it was the dynamic mix of legacy, hustle, and chaos.
So now I want to hear what YOU think. Is Next Gen LA something you’d tune in for? Or should Bravo leave well enough alone?

Well next gen NYC was originally planned as a blue blood vs the nueve rich type of thing. However half of the blue blood ran away as soon as they learned there will be hw kids. In a true snobby fashion, might I add. And the leftovers are Ava, whose father’s empire is all smoke and mirrors, Georgia, who belongs in the scene but isn’t a nepo baby, and Charlie, whose father told him to grab this tv show and make some money, because he is done paying his bills. Naturally these + hw kids are actually doing what the vision was. There are a lot of dynamics, and on top of that there is a friendship reconnect between Ariana and Riley.
All this has a lighting bolt in a bottle potential.
Now the show just about east coast hw kids who don’t even know each other is a whole lotta different story. To guarantee at least some level of success you need a premise. An existing connection.
I think the best possible show that can be done (and never will be) is Kyle’s kids + Kim’s kids + Katie’s kids. I am absolutely sure this whole family is a mess, but we are not getting to see it, that’s for sure
I’m kind of here for it!!
def! đź’Ż
