Brooks Marks Steps Into the Spotlight with Bravo's "Next Gen NYC"
If you’ve ever watched The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City , chances are you’ve caught glimpses of Brooks Marks — the sharp, fashion-forward son of Meredith Marks. But this summer, he’s stepping out from the shadow of his famous mother and into his own lane with Bravo’s latest reality series, Next Gen NYC . And let me tell you, it’s a shift that’s going to get people talking.

Next Gen NYC isn’t just another spin-off — it’s a vibrant, behind-the-scenes dive into the lives of a new generation of influencers, creators, and legacy kids trying to carve out their own identities in one of the toughest cities in the world. Brooks, now 24, is at the heart of it. He’s a recent NYU grad, a fashion designer, and yes, someone who's been tagged with the infamous “nepo baby” label more than once. But if you ask him, that label doesn’t really faze him — and honestly, he doesn’t have much to say about it. Instead, he’s focusing on showing the world who he really is, outside of quick Bravo cuts and Instagram stories.
In this series, we’re seeing a very different side of Brooks. Not just the polished son of a Real Housewife, but the guy hustling in the New York fashion scene, trying to grow a brand, manage relationships, and figure out what it means to be authentic on camera in a world obsessed with appearances. He’s joined by a cast that includes other Bravo legacies like Gia Giudice and Ariana Biermann — people who, like him, grew up under the bright lights of reality TV but are now trying to create their own legacy.
What stands out is the genuine bond this cast shares. These aren’t strangers forced into a house; most of them knew each other from events like BravoCon or from their social circles in NYC. Brooks even says the show isn’t built around conflict — shocking, I know — but around friendship. And while there is drama (come on, it’s still Bravo), the vibe is more about growth, navigating your twenties in the city, and leaning on your friends when things get messy.
There’s also a very personal layer to Brooks’ journey. We see his close relationship with his sister Chloe, and he’s made it clear — you can say whatever you want about him, but don’t come for his sister. That’s his line. He’s also not afraid to admit that being raised by Meredith Marks taught him how to “disengage” when necessary, but more importantly, how to stay true to who he is.
And when asked whether his time in Utah helped prepare him for life in NYC? Brooks laughs — “Absolutely not.” The contrast between the silence of Park City and the chaos of Manhattan couldn’t be more stark. But maybe that contrast is exactly what’s shaped his perspective — a blend of quiet introspection and bold ambition.
So if you think Next Gen NYC is just a glamorous look at privileged kids in the city, think again. It's a rare, unfiltered peek at the messiness, the hustle, and the friendships that define young adulthood today. And for Brooks Marks, it’s more than just a show — it’s his next chapter.
