The Oath, Bloom to Stream on My5

Channel 5 today has acquired two new drama series from Sony Pictures Television for its VOD streaming service My5.

The Oath and Bloom will both air on My5 as first-run exclusives in the U.K. Bloom is set in a rural town in Australia, one year after a devastating flood kills five locals. The Oath follows a criminal gang in the U.S. made up of a band of men and women sworn to uphold the law.

The mystery drama Bloom and the crime drama The Oath will launch later this spring on My5.

James Tatam, VP of commercial, digital and operations at Channel 5, commented “We know that high-quality drama drives VOD viewing and loyalty, so it’s an important part of our acquisitions strategy as we scale up the platform. With a diverse range of content from the Channel 5 pipeline and our strong selection of content from third-party partners, there’s something for everyone to enjoy on the platform.”
