What to expect from Ariana Biermann on Next Gen NYC

According to an announcement for the forthcoming Bravo series, Ariana "is the first in her family to leave Atlanta and step out on her own — no safety net, no family backup, just high-school sweetheart Hudson, a dream of launching a streetwear line, and a one-way ticket to New York City."

Ariana learned to "navigate chaos, keep her inner circle tight, and always stand up for what's right" from her mom.

Ariana isn't the only Real Housewives kid in the cast. Fellow RHOA alum Kandi Burruss' daughter, Riley Burruss, is in the cast, as is Gia Giudice, who is the daughter of The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giudice. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City's Meredith Marks' son, Brooks Marks, will be on the show as well.
