Pop culture · Heat 3.1 / 10 · 2 shows · 7m airtime

At Bravo FanFest in late October 2026, Bravo announced renewals for Next Gen NYC, Southern Hospitality and The City, and greenlit Next Gen Atlanta. Reporting since has established that an L.A. Next Gen iteration has been in production without an official greenlight, that Brielle Biermann was reportedly set for Next Gen New York and cut over her brother KJ's sexual assault case, and that Leva was dropped from FanFest and will not appear in Southern Hospitality's fifth season. Bravo has not said whether the L.A. version will be picked up.

Runs through the slate beyond the renewals
Runs through the FanFest slate beyond the renewals: a new Texas show built around a former Big Brother contestant accused of racist remarks, and the claim that Brielle Biermann was cut from Next Gen New York over her brother's case. The Biermann cut is a new detail the card does not carry.

Adds the casting fallout to the FanFest renewal slate: Southern Hospitality returns for season five without Leva, who was also pulled from the FanFest lineup, and wonders whether she ever had ownership of the restaurant the show films in.
