New Signed, Sealed, Delivered movies
Fans have been waiting for years for a new installment in the Signed, Sealed, Delivered series.
The franchise, which began in 2013 as a television series, was written by Martha Williamson, who also created Touched by an Angel. The show followed four employees of the United States Postal Service’s Dead Letter Office.
Oliver (played by Eric Mabius), Shane (played by Kristin Booth), Rita (played by Crystal Lowe), and Norman (played by Geoff Gustafson) take it upon themselves to track down intended recipients of undeliverable mail.
After a successful first season, the show was changed from a 1-hour episode format to a 2-hour film format. Twelve films were released over the next seven years:
Signed, Sealed, Delivered For Christmas (2014)
Signed, Sealed, Delivered: From Paris With Love (2015)
Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Truth Be Told (2015)
Signed, Sealed, Delivered: The Impossible Dream (2015)
Signed, Sealed, Delivered: From the Heart (2016)
Signed, Sealed, Delivered: One in a Million (2016)
Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Lost Without You (2016)
Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Higher Ground (2017)
Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Home Again (2017)
Signed, Sealed, Delivered: The Road Less Travelled (2018)
Signed, Sealed, Delivered: To the Altar (2018)
Signed, Sealed, Delivered: The Vows We Have Made (2021)
Hints, hints, and more hints
Over the years, Hallmark execs have dropped more than a few hints about the return of the series.
During a red carpet interview at a 2023 ceremony for the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame, then-Hallmark CEO Wonya Lucas told The Sun that the network was working on a comeback for Signed, Sealed, Delivered.
“We’re pretty excited about that,” she said and added, “I will tell you, the POstables are alive and well. They send me notes, they send me pictures, every time I go to my office, they’re there….So, we are really listening to our fans and leaning into the fandom.”
Series star Eric Mabius also mentioned something during a 2023 interview with Australia’s Today Extra. When he was asked if there was a new project he was working on, he replied, “There is, and what a wonderful project.”
He made reference to Martha Williamson, the series creator, and said, “It’s just brilliant because it’s a mixture of romance and comedy and heartfelt intent without being syrupy.”
Details
Though Hallmark shared the news, the network said little about the films, apart from the fact that the first will premiere in 2024. Eric Mabius responded to the announcement with a joke.
“WHUUUTTTTTT?!?” he wrote. “Nobody told ME?!?”
Hallmark has not yet announced when the new movie will air. We will update it as soon as more information becomes available.
