HOOQ – the largest Video On Demand service in South East Asia – is proud
to announce its first foray into Hollywood Originals with Crackle’s The
Oath. Debuting with all 10 episodes last March 8, 2018 in the
US, the series was fully available on HOOQ 24 hours later.
Chief Content Officer of HOOQ, Jennifer Batty said, “This
marks a truly significant milestone for HOOQ Originals. While we continue to
blaze a trail for homegrown Asian content and talent, we are now proud to strengthen
our offering and bring in the best original content that Hollywood has to
offer. With established producers of gritty visual stories like Joe Halpin and
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson on the team and not to mention hard hitters like Ryan
Kwanten and Sean Bean, we’re confident that we’ve got a winner here. I can’t
wait for you all to see it!”
Set in Los Angeles, this hard-hitting crime drama dives deep into a
world of gangs made up of those sworn to protect and defend. The
Oath chooses to tread where most cop dramas don’t, shedding
light on corruption and “police gang” culture by examining secret societies
that are nearly impossible to join. Only a select few make the cut but, once
inside, members will do what they must to protect each other from enemies not
only on the outside but also from within.
Created by Joe Halpin (“Hawaii Five-O”, “Secrets
and Lies”), the characters and relationships in The Oath are
informed by his first-hand experience working as a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Department deputy in South Central for 18 years, 12 of which was as an
undercover officer.
Chief Executive Officer of HOOQ, Peter Bithos said, “At HOOQ, we have
always dedicated ourselves to bringing our subscribers the best that Asia and
Hollywood have to offer. With The Oath now joining our family
of HOOQ Originals, we’re proud to continue bringing the kind of stories that
our customers love and continue to expect from us. This is the first of many to
come.”
The Oath stars Ryan Kwanten (“True Blood”), Cory
Hardrict(“American Sniper”, “Gran Torino”), Katrina Law (“Training
Day”), Arlen Escarpeta (“The Magicians”), J.J Soria (“Animal
Kingdom”, “The Fosters”) and “Game Of Thrones” alum, Sean Bean.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (“Power”) and his G-Unit Film & Television
Inc., Todd Hoffman and Dennis Kim of Storied Media
Group, Anne Clements (“StartUp”) and Halpin are the producers. The
series is directed by Jeff T. Thomas (“Blindspot,” “Wayward Pines”)
and Luis Prieto (Kidnap, “StartUp”). The Oath is
distributed by Sony Pictures Television.
