Brooke Shields is joining her daughter for her reality TV debut.

The actress, 60, has a cameo in the trailer for Bravo's Next Gen NYC season 2, which marks her daughter Rowan Henchy's introduction to the series. Bravo unveiled the moment as it announced its latest slate of offerings at NBCUniversal’s 2026 Upfront Presentation on Monday, May 11.

In the clip, returning cast members discuss the "new girl" in the cast, before the trailer cuts to footage of Henchy, 22, walking through Manhattan. (Shields is also mom to daughter Grier, 20, with husband Chris Henchy.)

While one cast member wasn't quite sure who Shields was, Gia Giudice described her as "Hannah Montana's mom."

Rowan could then be seen carrying an urn into the kitchen before Shields discussed the placement of her late mom's ashes. "I put my mother next to the two things she loves the most: me and booze," Shields joked, referring to a line she previously wrote in her 2014 memoir, There Was a Little Girl: The Real Story of My Mother and Me, about placing the urn on a marble-topped living room bar.

Next Gen NYC premiered on Bravo in June 2025. The series follows a group of friends in their 20s who are navigating adulthood, including some regulars whom Real Housewives fans will recognize.

Per a synopsis, the new season is described as "anything but chill."

"The pace is faster, the hustle is louder, and for this New York City crew, life in the city that never sleeps is a full-on reality check. From first real apartments and lingering scandals to messy breakups, shifting friendships and new romances, everyone’s trying to build a life that feels authentic — but also aesthetic," the synopsis reads. "Eager to carve out their own identities, they’re determined to make it on their own terms while also navigating the pressure to curate the right vibe, the right circles and a feed that keeps up with the life they’re chasing."

The description continues, "In a world driven by image, ambition and constant visibility, they quickly learn that making it is one thing — holding onto it, and each other, is another."
