“Martial arts has given us some of the most mesmerizing, entertaining, and life-changing moments in film and in life itself.”

I’m Rudy Reyes, and I’m your host on a groundbreaking journey to discover the next global action star.

This is The Next Dragon — a reality television event where martial philosophy meets modern-day ambition.
A select group of warriors will face the most grueling casting process ever devised. Physical trials, mental endurance, cinematic skills, and raw talent will all be tested.

Guided by a panel of high-profile judges from the world of film, fight, and philosophy, contestants will be eliminated one by one — until only the worthy remain.

The winner earns more than a title…
They’ll land a major role in an upcoming action film and claim their place as the future face of martial arts in cinema.

But this journey isn’t just about fists and fame — it’s about character.

“You want to be number one? Then push beyond fear.”
“I’m not just fighting for a role… I’m fighting to represent women in martial arts.”
“The next Bruce Lee doesn’t have to be a man.”
“They think I’m just another guy — but I’m ready to prove them wrong.”

As pressure mounts, rivalries spark.
True nature is revealed.
