EXCLUSIVE 'The Oath' Season 2: Cast and creators talk about the real story behind the show and what to expect
The second season of Sony Crackle’s hit series ‘The Oath’ is now available to binge on the streaming network, and some might say this season is even better than the first. Created by Joe Halpin, ‘The Oath’ is based on his real life experiences as a police officer in South Central Los Angeles and the gangs within the police force.
The series of course had to amp up some of the drama for entertainment value, but according to Halpin, much of what you see in the series actually did happen in real life.
“You always have to enhance things for entertainment value, but everything we did in the show was really rooted in fact, whether it was things I experienced or did. Even the opening of the first season where there was a bank robbery and our characters came out and revealed that they were cops and they were setting up a containment on a bank that they themselves robbed, that actually happened. So everything came from either things that I experienced or was aware of when I was a cop. So I thought this was a great way to peel back the curtain and expose something that needs to be looked at. To have a chance to do that in an entertaining way isn’t just educational but its also fun for the audience.”
