Hersh said that The Real Housewives was the Gen-X version of reality, Summer House is the millennial version and Next Gen NYC is the Gen-Z version of the genre.

“With each form, we’re evolving. Housewives is one form, with Summer House we changed up the dynamic, added the [security] cameras and squished the storytelling to be more direct and intimate. Then with Next Gen NYC, we’re taking the next step. It’s got a more of a social media feel, younger. We have a bigger cast. We have quicker storytelling. It feels more connected to a Gen-Z sensibility. It’s again adapting the reality form to what the expectations of where the viewership is now,” Hersh said.
