Bravo announced on Friday that it has renewed three existing series and ordered two new ones ahead of its Fan Fest event in Charleston, South Carolina, according to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.

What happened

The announcements were made during a pre‑event briefing on Oct. 23, 2026. The network confirmed the renewal of "In the City," "Next Gen NYC" and "Southern Hospitality" for additional seasons. It also greenlit two new projects: "Next Gen Atlanta" and a scripted micro‑drama titled "Charmed by a Southern Monster." The micro‑drama is set to launch on Peacock on Nov. 9, 2026.

What the reports add

Variety reported that "In the City," a spinoff of "Summer House," has begun filming its second season in New York City and that Kyle Cooke and Lindsay Hubbard are expected to return, while Kyle’s ex‑partner Amanda Batula is not slated as a full‑time cast member. The Hollywood Reporter noted that "Next Gen NYC" was renewed for a third season and that "Southern Hospitality" secured a fifth‑season renewal. Both outlets confirmed that no casting details have been released for "Next Gen Atlanta." The Hollywood Reporter provided the full logline for the new Atlanta series, describing it as a look at a new generation of personalities navigating hip‑hop, sports and entertainment cultures.

What was said

Variety quoted the network’s announcement that Craig Conover, known from "Southern Charm," will lead the micro‑drama "Charmed by a Southern Monster." The Hollywood Reporter cited the network’s description of "Next Gen Atlanta" as following “a new generation of rising personalities making their mark” and highlighted the involvement of Blink49 Studios with producers Tara Long, Nadine Rajabi, Mark Ford, Ben Magargel and Salena.

How it came about

The renewals and orders were timed to generate buzz ahead of Bravo’s Fan Fest, an annual gathering of fans and talent in Charleston. Earlier this month, Bravo promoted the event on its social channels, inviting cast members from its unscripted lineup to appear as panelists. Felo previously covered Bravo’s expansion into scripted formats in a 2025 piece on the network’s first micro‑drama venture, linking the current micro‑drama launch to that earlier development.
