Right out of the gate we will state clearly that we are big fans of Brett Varvel - he starred in our first feature film Miracle on Christmas - so we are absolutely certain he will bring a lot to his new role in the Christian streaming series Vindication. Unfortunately, we cannot tell you much about said role.

The show, which stars other Christian actors like T.C. Stallings, Emma Elle Roberts and Cameron Arnett, focuses on the life and work of a small-town Texas detective played by Todd Terry, another strong Believer. The program just put up some social media posts featuring still pictures from its upcoming Season 3, and one of them shows Brett in a scene.

The Indiana native - who played the lead role in last year's faith-based film Running the Bases - reposted that picture, which you can see at the top of our article, on his own social media page, acknowledging that he will indeed be in the series and that he is "so pumped about this show." He did not, however, reveal much more, other than to say that he feels it was an "incredible honor" to be cast in the series; we even contacted him directly, but in deference to the filmmakers, he would not let the cat out of the bag, so to speak, about his character.

Vindication streams on the Sony-Pictures-owned Pure Flix platform, and though there is as yet no word on when Season 3 will release, social media posts from the show indicate it will be announced "soon." Christian Film Blog will follow developments and keep you up to date. In the meantime, you can take a look at last season's trailer below to get a better feel for the series.

Led by Christian actor Kevin Sorbo and a strong group of supporting players that includes fellow Believers Neal McDonough and Corbin Bernsen, the fifth iteration of this franchise is off to a good start even before its first showing in theaters. Driven by solid ticket pre-sales, Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist will now play nationwide for seven days, up from the originally planned run of just four days.

Based on the bestselling Left Behind book series, this film is set after the rapture in a world beset by chaos. The first film - Left Behind: The Movie - released in 2000 and starred Christian actor Kirk Cameron, who reprised his leading role for the second and third films before actor Nicolas Cage took over to lead the way in movie number four.

Sorbo, who first shot to fame on his 1990s TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, now takes the baton and, as we previously reported, finds the release date of this end-times themed movie uncanny in light of chaotic climate of today's world, saying, "It's almost got a Revelation theme going to it in a way."

Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist will play at theaters starting today and running through February 1st. You can purchase tickets to a venue in your area via this link to the website of distributor Fathom Events, and the trailer below will give a good sense of what to expect from the movie.

Director: Arnold Grossman Stars: Christopher Lloyd, Tekola Cornetet, Jane Kaczmarek
