Why hasn't Bravo landed a next-gen hit?
It's officially been 10 years (10 years!!) since Vanderpump Rules premiered on Bravo. The same year, we got Southern Charm, and just a bit later, Summer House provided us with yet another distraction. But, since then, we haven't seen another next-gen hit make its way to Bravo.
Instead, Bravo has really leaned into cross-over content, recycling its stars, instead of creating new ones. Is there a reason why you think Bravo has yet to really find another post-Summer House hit? And why they aren't leaning into Gen Z more? I always think about when Andy Cohen said they wouldn't do cross-overs until the content got stale, and I worry about what's to come...

Great points. I have been happily surprised by Southern Hosptitalty, though. Even though it's the Leva crossover, Maddie and Grace are pretty dynamic reality stars. My friends hate the show, though, so maybe it's just me in my winter boredom who enjoys mediocre content.
Does Gen Z watch TV? I feel like they just watch YouTube and TikTok. Yes, this just in, I asked my Gen Z babysitter and she "doesn't watch TV." I'll keep enjoying the heck out of Bravo until I'm dead, so instead of making...
content for Gen Z, they can continue to make content for us millennials as we get older and older. I'd love to go to BravoCon in my 70s... how fun!!!
But they're not really making any fresh content for millennials either!
