The Oath is described as a savagely funny dark comedy about surviving life and Thanksgiving in the age of political tribalism. When Chris, a high-strung 24-hour progressive news junkie, and his more levelheaded wife Kai learn that citizens are being asked to sign a loyalty oath to the President, their reaction is disbelief, followed by idealistic refusal. But as the Thanksgiving deadline to sign approaches, the combination of sparring relatives, Chris’s own agitation and the unexpected arrival of two government agents sends an already tense holiday dinner gathering completely off the rails.

The cast includes Barinholtz as Chris, Haddish as Kai, John Cho (Star Trek Beyond, Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle Searching), Carrie Brownstein (PortlandiaTransparent), Billy Magnussen (Into the WoodsIngrid Goes West), Meredith Hagner (VeepSearch Party), Nora Dunn (Southland TalesSaturday Night Live), Jon Barinholtz (Dumb and Dumber ToSuperstore) and Chris Ellis (ArmageddonMurder in the First).
