Ryan Kwanten is coming to Crackle. Recently, the streaming service announced the True Blood star has joined the upcoming TV show The Oath.
Executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, the drama “explores a world of gangs made up of those sworn to protect and defend and sheds light on corrupt and 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 on the outside and from within their own ranks.”
On The Oath, Kwanten will be playing “Steve Hammond, son of Tom Hammond (portrayed by Sean Bean) and the leader of a cop gang, The Ravens.” He joins fellow cast member Arlen Escarpeta.
