GRAMMY-NOMINATED ARTISTS CHRISTINA MILIAN AND LEONA LEWIS AND ACTRESS ZULAY HENAO JOIN SEASON TWO OF SONY CRACKLE ORIGINAL DRAMA SERIES ‘THE OATH’

Culver City, CA, June 27, 2018 — Sony Crackle announced today that Grammy-nominated artists Christina Milian and Leona Lewis and actress Zulay Henao (“Meet the Blacks 2”) will join the cast of season two of its original drama series “The Oath,” from executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and his G-Unit Film and Television Inc. and creator/executive producer Joe Halpin. Additionally, actor and director Kevin Connolly will guest star and direct multiple episodes for the gritty drama series. Production for season two of “The Oath” has commenced in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

“The Oath” 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. Season two of the action-packed drama finds the Ravens trying to free themselves from their debt to the cartel. The season will examine themes of family and redemption, giving the characters a chance to reclaim their lives as their own, pushing them to find a new path and attempting to conquer their inner demons – all while trying to protect their own lives in the process.

Christina Milian joins as series regular Christine Parks, a second-generation Raven (her father was one of the gang’s original founders) and Kraley’s partner. She grew up admiring her dad and wants to follow in his footsteps. Milian is represented by WME, Link Entertainment, Milian Management, and Stone, Genow, Smelkinson, Binder & Christopher.

Leona Lewis recurs as Amber Hall, daughter of Pastor Greg, who grew up surrounded by the violence in her neighborhood. Presently, she works as a doctor at the local hospital, doing what she can for those in the community that look up to both her and her father. Leona is represented by CAA.

Zulay Henao recurs as Carmen Velasquez, the older sister of Ricardo and daughter of Ignacio who, after living most of her life surrounded by violence, is trying to move the family toward a legitimate business. Zulay is represented by Gladys Gonzalez of John Carrabino Management, APA and attorney Rick Genow.

Kevin Connolly guest stars as James Hoke, a former radio car partner to Karen Beach (Katrina Law), who now works in Internal Affairs, and brings some troubling news to her and the Ravens’ attention.
