Ariana Biermann
Biermann appeared in the early seasons of The Real Housewives of Atlanta,with her mother starring from seasons 1 to 5 and appearing as a “Friend of the Housewives” in season 10.
Her cast biography describes her as the first in her family to “step out on her own” with her move to New York, where she is pursuing a streetwear line.
“Come to New York City to make your dreams come true,” she says in the trailer.
Riley Burruss
Riley Burruss, a graduate of New York University, appeared on RHOA for more than a decade, as her mother starred on the show from season 2 to season 15. According to her cast biography, she is working in “high-profile internships” across New York and was childhood friends with Biermann.
“Level-headed and totally unfazed, she says exactly what she’s thinking, which makes her the go-to for people who can handle the truth. Now she has one year to discover her true passion (or it’s off to law school and a 9-to-5 life),” her Bravo profile reads.
Ava Dash
Dash is the daughter of Damon Dash and Rachel Roy and works as a full-time model in New York.
“With a new man in her life and fresh faces entering the circle, Ava’s effortless reign as the group’s most sought-after might not be so effortless after all,” her cast biography reads.
In the trailer, Dash is seen sparring with Biermann, saying she doesn’t believe she has the “best style for a fashion designer.”
She has worked as a brand ambassador for BCBGMAXAZRIA and previously appeared on Growing Up Hip Hop. In an interview with CR Fashion Book, she described reality TV as her “guilty pleasure.”
Emira D’Spain
D’Spain, a New York University graduate, is Paper magazine’s beauty director and an influencer with more than 159,000 Instagram followers. NBC confirmed to Newsweek that she will be the first transgender person to star full-time on a Bravo show.
The trailer shows D’Spain celebrating a billboard near Times Square with her friends in the cast.
Before her entrance on reality TV, she became the first Black transgender Victoria’s Secret model. Since then, she has been trying to “one-up” herself, she told Wondermind in 2023.
“It was something that wasn’t really planned, so it was just crazy how it blew up,” D’Spain said. “And I was getting so much hate online the first day. It was 50/50—half really positive and half negative. It was interesting to try to manage the two. But I feel like the positive always outweighs the negative in those scenarios.”
Shai Fruchter
Fruchter grew up in Israel and China but eventually ended up in New Jersey, according to his Bravo cast biography. The biography notes that he now lives in the East Village, where he is “free to explore creativity, romance, and the endless pursuit of authenticity.”
“But joining this circle of bold, connected, and ambitious friends might be more than he bargained for,” his cast biography teases.
Gia Giudice
Gia Giudice has frequently appeared on The Real Housewives of New Jersey,which has focused on her family’s drama for years. Last year, she announced she was putting her pursuit of law school on pause after graduating from Rutgers University.
Now, she is “ready to explore all that New York has to offer,” according to her biography.
“Gia’s survived a lifetime of family drama in the public eye, making her fiercely protective of family and friendships. But while Gia has plenty of drive, the actual drive into the city might just push her over the edge,” her biography reads. “Despite Gia’s ambitious and loyal nature, the pull of Manhattan might shift her priorities.”
Brooks Marks
Brooks Marks showcased his athleisure brand on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, on which his mother has been a main cast member since the first season. According to his cast biography, he now has “big dreams” in New York City but keeps “finding himself in the middle of drama, despite claiming he hates conflict.”
In the trailer, Brooks Marks discusses his “tumultuous work relationship” with his mother, who runs jewelry and caviar businesses and a boutique in Park City, Utah.
Georgia McCann
Bravo describes McCann as the “ultimate Gen Z ‘It’ girl,” highlighting her work as a creative strategist for brands and events and “fiercely defend[ing] the city’s artistic soul from developers and finance bros alike.”
“The city has always been her first love, but this summer a surprising romance and shifting friendships might shake things up, threatening to leave Georgia’s carefully curated world in turmoil,” her biography reads.
Hudson McLeroy
Biermann’s boyfriend, McLeroy, will also star in the show. His biography describes him as already finding success as an investor.
“His Southern charm has served him well in Atlanta, but will it resonate with his new New York friend group, making this move his riskiest investment yet?” his biography reads.
According to a Bravo post from 2024, the two met in high school and attended homecoming together in 2018. They had a brief breakup but got back together in 2022.
Charlie Zakkour
Zakkour has been “ruling the NYC club scene since he was 14” and now works in the crypto and private investment world, according to his biography.
“For the first summer in years, Charlie finds himself basking in his autonomy, but he might find being unattached creates more drama than ever,” Bravo wrote.
What People Are Saying
Queens of Bravo, on X: “Kim’s daughter feuding with Meredith’s son while Kandi’s daughter looks confused and Teresa’s dorter can’t be bothered – I never thought we’d get here, but so glad we are.”
