Ariana Biermann Starts Shocking Love Triangle with Liam Obergfoll and Charlie Zakkour in “Next Gen NYC” Teaser (Exclusive)

**Tensions Rise in Season 2 of ‘Next Gen NYC’ as Love Triangle Unfolds**

‘Next Gen NYC’, the popular reality series on Bravo, is gearing up for a dramatic midseason with new episodes scheduled to air every Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET. This season has already seen its fair share of complicated relationships, but the spotlight now shifts to Ariana Biermann, who finds herself at the heart of a love triangle involving Liam Obergfoll and Charlie Zakkour.

An exclusive midseason teaser shared by PEOPLE reveals the mounting tension amongst the cast as they navigate this intriguing development. Emira D’Spain, one of the cast members, sets the scene with a whimsical tone, stating, “The ski trip is coming, the vibes will be bright,” while encouraging her friends to maintain a “slightly impolite” attitude.

The glamour of the winter season is evident in the teaser, showing the cast engaging in festive events such as holiday parties and skiing. However, not all is festive; behind the smiles are brewing complications. Viewers are teased with the suggestion that “new relationships are brewing,” raising the excitement around the upcoming episodes.

In one of the scenes, Liam and Ariana grow closer during a Friendsgiving celebration. The moment becomes intimate when Liam asks her, “You wanna get dessert here, or you wanna get dessert somewhere else?” The clipped exchanges suggest a growing bond, and a later image captures the two snuggled together in bed as Liam reflects, “I had fun last night.” This sets the stage for a delightful yet contentious love narrative.

Contrary to this budding connection, Charlie appears piqued by Ariana’s interactions. In a phone call with Shai Fruchter, he mentions, “Ariana came over to sesh” the previous night, before jokingly cautioning his friend to “clutch your pearls, bro.” The conversations hint at jealousy and rivalry, as Charlie later maintains, “I don’t kiss and tell, bro, you know me,” when questioned about his romantic encounters.

Meanwhile, the dynamics within the group are as entertaining as ever. Riley Burruss describes Charlie and Ariana as a “new dynamic duo” while dining out, and Emira mentions that Ariana “gave up her first-class seat to sit next to Charlie.” This revelation provokes intrigue from other group members, with Rowan Henchy remarking to Ava Dash about Ariana’s prior reluctance to get involved with Charlie. Ava quips, “Honey, that pole’s getting shorter and shorter,” alluding to the shifting allegiances.

As the romantic plot thickens, tensions come to a head during a confrontation between Ava and Ariana, where Ava questions whether Ariana is dating Liam and if they share an exclusive commitment. Ariana’s response is nonchalant; she claims they are not exclusive. Liam expresses his frustration in a confessional, admitting, “F—, I’m being played,” which is sure to heighten the drama.

Season 2 had already seen a significant turning point with Ariana’s public breakup from Hudson McLeroy, her long-term partner who also stars in the Bravo show. The split, announced via her Instagram stories, indicated that both had decided it was best to part ways after nearly a decade together. Despite the breakup, attendees at the season premiere party reported seeing Ariana and Hudson in a friendly embrace, suggesting that the lines between friendship and romance remain blurred.

Since its debut in June 2025, ‘Next Gen NYC’ has captivated audiences with its portrayal of a close-knit circle of friends navigating the complexities of adulthood and relationships in their twenties. Alongside Ariana, the series features familiar faces such as Gia Giudice, Georgia McCann, and Kendall White, all bringing their unique dynamics to the forefront of the show.

As the midseason airs, fans can expect further revelations and emotional confrontations, adding to the allure of ‘Next Gen NYC’. The series continues to showcase not only the glamour of young adulthood but also the intricacies of friendships and romances, keeping audiences eagerly anticipating each new episode.

Catch ‘Next Gen NYC’ every Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo, with episodes available for streaming the following day on Peacock.
