Bravo is capitalizing on the growing trend of nepotism in the entertainment industry with its newest reality TV show, “Making It in Manhattan”. The show follows the lives of six young adults, including the children of popular Housewives franchise stars, as they navigate their way in the cutthroat world of New York City.

The premise of the show is to document the struggles and successes of these “nepo babies” as they try to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry. With their privileged upbringing and connections to the Bravo universe, these young adults are already well-equipped to make a splash. As the show progresses, it will be interesting to see how their alliances are formed and whether their famous mothers will intervene in their personal and professional lives.

The term “nepotism” has gained significant attention in recent years, particularly in the context of the entertainment industry. The Oxford Language defines nepotism as “the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs.” While some argue that nepotism is a necessary part of the industry, others see it as unfair and a hindrance to true talent and hard work.
Regardless of one’s stance on nepotism, “Making It in Manhattan” promises to offer a unique look into the lives of these young adults as they navigate the challenges and opportunities that come with being part of the Bravo universe. With their famous parents and their own drive and determination, these “nepo babies” are sure to capture the attention and imagination of viewers everywhere.
