AXN shows cop gang drama "The Oath" with Sean Bean

In March, the new series "The Oath" celebrates its US premiere at the Sony streaming service Crackle, only a few days later, the series with Sean Bean can be seen in this country.  The German premiere is on AXN.

As part of the Berlinale's Drama Series Days, trade visitors will be able to get a first glimpse of the new Sony series "The Oath" before the premiere of the streaming service Crackle will be on the program on 8 March in the USA.  But German viewers do not have to wait much longer: Already on March 12, the pay-TV channel AXN takes the series into the program and shows it on Mondays from 22:55 clock in double episodes.

 "The Oath" is dedicated to the secret and corrupt world of police bands, which is almost impossible to join.  The members have sworn to protect their own ranks from internal and external dangers - at any price.  The creator, author and showrunner of the series is Joe Halpin - and he brings insider knowledge, having worked as an undercover cop in Los Angeles for twelve years prior to his writing career.

Leading actor in the series is Emmy Award winner Sean Bean, at the side in the ten-part first season, including Ryan Kwanten, Cory Hardrict, Arle Escarpeta, Katrina Law, JJ Soria, Michael Malarkey, Eve Mauro, Kwame Patterson, Linda Purl and Elisabeth Röhm see are.  The series is produced by Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent.  "After the highly successful premiere of 'Snatch' on AXN, we are pleased to present 'The Oath' in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Crackle's latest original is again an action packed series with an outstanding story and cast - a perfect match for positioning by AXN, "said Carsten Fink, vice president of German-speaking Europe at Sony Pictures Television Networks.

WATCH: Sean Bean Stars in New Trailer for ‘The Oath’ TV Series

We’ll be getting more of Sean Bean (Game of Thrones) this spring when his new crime drama, The Oath, premieres on the Crackle streaming service on March 8, reports ComingSoon.net.

The fast-moving trailer reveals the world of crooked cops who operate in close-knit gangs. The show creator Joe Halpin perhaps looked to his past life for inspiration. He worked as an undercover police officer in L.A. for 12 of his 17 years on the force, so we’re guessing he crossed paths with plenty of not so savory sorts.

We’re first introduced to Bean as Tom Hammond, the show’s antihero and leader of a prominent cop gang, wearing an orange jumpsuit and walking through a prison. In a later scene, he’s in plain clothes, brandishing a gun. He’s been released, which leads us to wonder: what’s on his agenda?

Bean is joined by Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), taking on the role of a police officer named Steve Hammond, the elder Hammond’s son.

The trailer doesn’t tell us much but it will make your blood pressure soar in just a few seconds:

The series is produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, who we just mentioned in a post about the forthcoming Den of Thieves sequel. The ensemble cast also includes Michael Malarkey (The Vampire Diaries), Eve Mauro (CSI: Miami), Kwame Patterson (The Wire), Linda Purl (Homeland), and Elisabeth Rohm (Law & Order).

Are you excited to see Sean Bean in this role?

Berlinale Drama Series Days Sees American TV Playing to the World

A number of American drama series imports are hitting Berlinale’s Drama Series Days, but despite depicting a variety of States-specific stories — such as the politics and power battles in the American high school system in Jack Ferry and Ryan Hunter’s “Mr. Student Body President”; the rivalry between the FBI and the CIA in Dan Futterman’s “The Looming Tower”; or gang culture on the streets and within the police force in Joe Halpin’s “The Oath” — producers are preparing for international audiences.

 “It’s informed by a life I used to live, so it’s definitely rooted in the American police infrastructure,” Halpin says about “The Oath.” “But I think an international audience can empathize with it because any power structure, when it gets corrupted, I think everybody throughout the world experiences that.”

“The Oath” was also designed around the theme of family, which Halpin says will also speak universally.
“[Family] resonates in every aspect of every character in every story of the show. If you join a police force, it’s a family structure. If you join a gang, then again it’s intimate and a more kind of confined family,” he says. “Even though our characters are not doing good things, it’s funny because in life if a stranger does something we’re very judgmental but we’re not as harsh to judge our family members. I figured that could cause everyone to relax and follow our characters on their journey and see that this path of corruption leads to nowhere.”

Series such as “The Looming Tower” and “The Oath” are also aided by casts with international recognizability. “The Looming Tower” boasts Jeff Daniels and Peter Sarsgaard, while “The Oath” features Sean Bean, Ryan Kwanten and Katrina Law, and also has Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as an executive producer.

Crackle’s Halpin hand

US streaming platform Crackle delves into the world of cop gangs with 10-part drama The Oath. Showrunner Joe Halpin reveals how the show is informed by his own career in the LAPD and how he made the move from police officer to TV writer.

The jump from undercover cop to television writer might seem improbable, but that’s the one made by Joe Halpin. After 17 years in law enforcement, he worked his way from low-budget features to television and is now showrunner of the latest original series to land on US streamer Crackle.

The Oath centres on police gangs and sheds light on the corrupt and secretive societies that do whatever they must to protect each other from enemies on the outside and within their own ranks.

The 10-part series opens as a group of corrupt cops known as The Ravens are arrested by the FBI, which is targeting the multiple cop gangs in the police department. Led by Steve Hammond (Ryan Kwanten), the Ravens are pressured to inform on the other gangs and forced by Agent Aria Price (Elisabeth Röhm) to take on undercover agent Damon Byrd (Arlen Escarpeta) and sell him as one of their own.

With the threat of prison hanging over their heads, Steve must ensure his fellow Ravens – his adopted brother Cole (Cory Hardrict), his partner Pete Ramos (JJ Soria) and Karen Beach (Katrina Law) – stay in line as they operate under the shadow of the Feds while keeping the deal a secret from the other Ravens, including their imprisoned former leader, Tom Hammond (Sean Bean), father of Steve and Cole.

The series is executive produced by Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson and his G-Unit Film & Television label, along with Todd Hoffman and Dennis Kim of Storied Media Group, Anne Clements and Halpin. Sony Pictures Television holds distribution rights.

Halpin, who is the creator, writer and showrunner of the Oath, is emphatic when he explains how the plotlines are informed by something he experienced, witnessed or was privy to during his career as a cop. “I just thought it would be a great area for storytelling, and what better way to have a conversation about a problem within the department than create a show that reveals something most people don’t know about?” he says.

British-born Halpin moved to the US with his family when he was 12. He spent 17 years in law enforcement, starting in the LA County Sheriff’s department where he worked in jails holding members of notorious LA gangs including the Bloods and the Crips. After spending time as a training officer and field officer, he moved into narcotics, working on undercover operations. He later carried out undercover and surveillance work for the FBI and the DEA.

Halpin later became in demand for celebrity bodyguard work and was shadowing Steven Seagal during a trip to Poland when he first began to consider the possibility of using his experiences as a cop to become a writer. A year later, he sold a script that was turned into a feature.

“It wasn’t anything I was looking to do but once I sat down and started doing it, I became obsessed with it and doing it well,” Halpin recalls. “There are a lot of people in this business who are glorified tech advisors, who never quite learn to write but they’re kept around because they’re great in the [writers] room and great at story. But I wanted to make sure I wasn’t one of those people. I eventually got out of low-end features and got into television because I realised that’s where the real writers and real experienced storytellers were nowadays.”

He has since earned credits on shows such as True Justice, Hawaii Five-0, Secrets & Lies and Ice. And now his experience working for the LAPD has directly influenced The Oath, with The Ravens based on a police gang he was a member of, The Reapers. “I eventually went on to lead that gang and during that time I was being investigated and followed by both LAPD and the DA [district attorney]’s office,” he reveals. “So when I eventually got out and got into writing, I thought that world was a great place and a rich world for storytelling.”

The story behind The Oath is something Halpin says he has been pitching since he found his way into the television business, though he admits he wasn’t ready to make the show until now. “I wasn’t prepared, I wasn’t really good enough or experienced enough up until this point,” he says. But after Halpin forged a relationship with Crackle, the project moved very quickly. The writers room only opened in January last year but the full series will roll out on March 8.

In the room, Halpin and his team of writers laid the track for each character – their physical and emotional story arcs – before breaking down each episode to ensure it was well paced throughout the season. The biggest challenge, however, was to maintain the tension across 10 episodes. “It’s like holding a piece of string tightly,” Halpin explains. “If you make a mistake in the structure of not maintaining that tension then you can lose the audience and it becomes ineffectual storytelling. So I really focus on making sure the pacing and the structure is very strong in each episode.”

Under the stewardship of directors Jeff T Thomas and Luis Prieto, much of the series was shot with handheld cameras, granting Halpin’s wish that The Oath feel extremely voyeuristic, inviting the audience into the story.

Filming took place in San Juan, Puerto Rico, which provided a vivid backdrop for the series, ostensibly set in an unspecified southern US city. Production was far from straightforward, however, as the cast and creative team were twice flown off the island to avoid two incoming category five hurricanes.

“That was obviously difficult, not because of the difficulty or the interruption but because the crew became like family so there was a lot of survivor’s guilt for myself and the actors to get on a plane and leave,” the showrunner says. “But we stayed in touch on WhatsApp and we were talking to them as the hurricane was hitting, making sure everyone was OK.”

He admits he was a little wary about the location when Crackle first suggested San Juan, having imagined The Oath being filmed in the South Central district of LA where he himself walked the streets. “But then when I visited and I saw the areas and the professionalism of the crew they were using out there, I realised it would enhance the show, it would make storytelling that much better and more vivid,” he says. “It’s almost like someone took a crayon to South Central – it has that same danger in the air but it’s colourful.

“Where I see familiar things like the streets of LA, New York or Vancouver where you film a lot, I kind of tune out when they’re driving in a car. But when I watch shows like Narcos, where I see different colour schemes and different architecture, it interests me more and I thought it would be great for our show because it looks like its set in the southern United States but you just don’t know where, and we did that on purpose because we didn’t want to paint any single police department with the brush of corruption. It enhanced the storytelling and made it a more dynamic exciting world.”

As a showrunner, Halpin says he “thrives during chaos,” which makes him perfect for a hugely demanding role that constantly demands he stays focused on the job while putting out numerous fires along the way. The secret to success, he suggests, is being able to trust and delegate to those around him, taking his lead from showrunners he admires such as Rick Eid (now overseeing Chicago PD) and Peter Leskov (Hawaii Five-0, MacGyver).

“What I’ve learned is the biggest sin a showrunner can commit is to not make a decision,” Halpin notes. “Whether people like it or don’t like it, you’re expected to make a decision and I equate it to asking someone back in the 1800s to go out to sea with you. You’re out there and there’s no sign of land and the food’s getting short. If you don’t know where you’re going, they’re going to cut your throat, throw you overboard and go back where they came from. If you’re going to lead people, you have to have a very clear vision and know where you’re going. If anything, it reinforced that people around me expect me to be prepared and to know where I’m going and to always be that way whenever I’m running a show.”

He’s now planning multiple season of The Oath, which he says could live on beyond the current cast of characters by sticking to its central theme of cop gang culture.

“It’s definitely set so we go deeper down the rabbit hole in season two, three, four and five,” Halpin adds. “Like any great serialised show, there’s a very good chance we’ll lose a few of the players along the way and we’ll acquire new players, but that world and that core group we’ll probably stay with for at least four or five seasons.”

Watch Sean Bean As A Dangerous Prisoner In Exclusive Clip From 50 Cent's New Drama The Oath

As most pop culture fans are aware, Sean Bean is an actor whose characters don't often make it to the final credits, but that tradition has been bucked quite a few times in more recent years. Bean isn't exactly heading for easy street with his new show, Crackle's crime drama The Oath, so his character Tom Hammond's fate is totally up in the air. Below, you can watch Bean's long-haired prisoner in an exclusive clip from The Oath, which is the latest drama from executive producer Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson

In The Oath, Sean Bean's Tom Hammond is a dedicated and hard-wired cop who ruthlessly heads up a gang of mostly lawful enforcers. After a deal goes wrong with an undercover FBI agent, Hammond finds himself behind bars (as seen above), which completely removes him from his powerful position. Once he's released, Tom has only one goal in mind, and that's to reclaim his throne at the head of the gang, but he'll have to take on a lot of his former underlings in order to do so.

The clip above obviously takes place in the interim between Tom's fall from morally ambiguous grace and his potential rise to morally ambiguous glory, and it's clear that Bean's badass is mixed up with some powerful people. Keeping quiet in jail is definitely his best bet, since blabbing about the "business" will only put a target on his head. Of course, smashing a guard in the face with a basketball could also put a completely different target on his head, but he doesn't look worried. He's Tom Hammond, dammit.
