A few days after news broke about their separation, speculation about the show’s casting for its second season began to swirl. This was fueled by what looked like a shared birthday celebration for Ariana, 24, and Emira D’Spain, 29. Amidst these rumors, Hudson took to Instagram to share a couple of enigmatic posts that confirmed his return to Atlanta.

In one post, Hudson shared a photo of himself sitting in the back of a car with the caption, “And we’re out.”

He followed up with another image, this time featuring a Porsche, along with a location tag marking himself in Atlanta.

Then, in a second, he included an image of a Porsche as he marked himself in Atlanta.

As Hudson left the Big Apple, filming reportedly began on the second season of Next Gen NYC, prompting a TikTok report regarding who has and has not returned.

“Apparently, Charlie is coming back for season two,” Kate Riccio began in a video shared on October 19.

According to Kate, Ariana and Emira celebrated their birthdays over the weekend in what was described as “the first filmed event for the next season.”

“Everybody was there. Well, almost everybody,” Kate explained.

Giving a nod to images and videos shared by Instagram’s Queens of Bravo and Bravo Bravo Bravo Bri, Kate revealed that Ava Dash, 25, Brooks Marks, 26, and Gia Giudice, 24, were in attendance, as were Georgia McCann, 24, Shai Fruchter, 24, and Charlie Zakkour, 30. 

As for who wasn’t in attendance, Hudson was not, nor was Riley Burruss, 23. And while it wasn’t surprising to see that Hudson wasn’t there, as he and Ariana were newly broken up, Ariana’s closeness to Riley seemed to be an indicator that Riley had exited the series.

@katericcio I’m not sure what surprised me more — who was at the party… or who wasn’t 👀 #nextgennyc #bravo #bravotv #rhoa #recap ♬ original sound – Kate Riccio | Reality TV

Ariana’s older sister, Brielle Biermann, 28, was also at the birthday party, but it is unclear if she’ll be featured on season two.
