In 2015, filmmaker Jarod O'Flaherty set out to create a gospel focused short film, aiming to tour the festival circuit and then eventually land on YouTube. What began as a modest project soon blossomed into a multi-season crime drama series, captivating global audiences in ways no one could have anticipated.

The first season of VINDICATION was produced gradually over three years, with episodes filmed a few at a time, always with the uncertainty of how far the series would go. By early 2019, the tenth episode was completed, and a release on Amazon Prime Video was set for August. Upon its debut, the show quickly resonated with viewers, drawing attention from faith-based networks. During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, as streaming surged to new heights, PureFlix ordered a second season of the popular show.

With each new episode and season, VINDICATION's audience—and its loyal fan base, affectionately known as "Vindies"—continued to grow. From its humble beginnings, VINDICATION has evolved into a groundbreaking series, redefining the landscape of faith-based entertainment.
