Bravo Fan Fest Draws Thousands, Reveals Renewals
Bravo Fan Fest 2026 brought more than 40 Bravo stars to Charleston on October 24 for panels and fan events, with NBCUniversal’s Andrew Gottlieb saying the city was a natural choice because it has become a character in the “Bravoverse.” The event brought a slate of programming news: Bravo greenlit Next Gen Atlanta, renewed Next Gen NYC, In the City and Southern Hospitality, and announced Craig Conover’s scripted microdrama, Charmed by a Southern Monster. Amanda Batula’s return to In the City remains uncertain, with reports saying she has not filmed and is not expected to return as a full-time cast member. A podcast recap also discussed a viral Summer House clip and the controversial lead of new series Small Town Trouble: Texas.
