The show, titled China Rush, is a 12-episode series to be shot in locations across China. The name sounds like an energy drink, but it could be kind of cool. Interested in being on the show? They're currently seeking English-speaking applicants -- no Mandarin skills necessary -- from anywhere in the world to be on China Rush:
