Season 2 of Next Gen NYC will not be for the faint of heart. The aftermath of Ariana Biermann’s breakup with Hudson McLeroy will be among the major plot points in the new season. The couple had been on-and-off high school sweethearts.
Ariana announced their break-up three months after the July 1 finale of Next Gen NYC last year. She is hinting that there might be rough, emotional moments between them in Season 2. “It’s definitely my crashout season,” says Ariana.

Drama and plenty of heightened emotion should be at the forefront when Next Gen NYC returns. Speaking exclusively to US Weekly, Ariana says that “nobody wants to see the person they’ve been with forever with somebody else, and I think that’s going to be tough,” regarding her breakup with Hudson. There’s been some speculation that Kim Zolciak’s daughter and Hudson would reconcile. The pair briefly split up in October of 2025 before getting back together in the early part of this year.
Ariana could be in for an emotional rollercoaster in Season 2, with her breakup from Hudson only part of her drama. The Don’t Be Tardy star might also have to navigate through a love triangle. Her love triangle involves her ex and NYC club-kid Charlie Zakkour. Charlie’s flirtations with Ariana have been noticeable, along with his tendency to stir up group tension.
Meanwhile, Ariana’s conflicts with her co-stars don’t appear to be over. She had heated argument with Gia Giudice at a Jersey Shore dinner in Season 1. That drama began when Riley Burruss called Georgia McCann’s bowling nightclub pitch “a terrible idea.” Gia stepped in, calling Riley rude. Ariana, though, came to Riley’s defense as things between her and Gia got intense.
Along with all of that, Ariana’s parents, Kim and Kroy Biermann, are going through an ugly divorce. In June of last year, Ariana got very emotional about paying her parents’ bills. Season 2 of Next Gen NYC premieres on June 24.
