Signed, Sealed, Delivered cast begins filming on two new movies

 

“#POstables, it’s really happening – your favorite crew is back shooting TWO, all-new Signed, Sealed, Delivered movies!” reads a post on Hallmark Mystery’s Instagram page.

 

 

In a brief video included in the post, actors Eric Mabius, Kristin Booth, Geoff Gustafson, and Crystal Lowe wave at the camera and say, “Hi, POstables!”

 

“It’s really happening,” Kristin Booth says. “We are on set right now.”

 

“Shooting two all-new Signed, Sealed, Delivered movies,” Eric Mabius adds.

 

“We’re back on the case,” says Crystal Lowe.

 

“And we can’t wait for you to see what we have in store,” says Geoff Gustafson.

 

 

Hallmark was eager to announce that work had begun on two new Signed, Sealed, Delivered movies. Fans have been waiting since 2021 for a new installment in the series, which was created by Touched By An Angel’s Martha Williamson.

 

“Martha Williamson has created an incredible world with a cast of characters that fans have fallen in love with,” said Samantha DiPippo, senior vice president of development at Hallmark Media. “Their passion for the show is unwavering and we’re thrilled to be able to give them two new movies that are filled with heart, hope and faith.”

 

The franchise, which began in 2013 as a television series, follows the 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)

 

 

But fans were left hanging when Hallmark took a break from making new movies in the series. POstables mounted social media campaigns and sent letters and emails to Hallmark Media to get the series continued.

 

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.”

 

 

The first of the two new films is titled Signed, Sealed, Delivered: A Tale of Three Letters (which is a working title and could change) will premiere sometime in 2024. According to a synopsis from Hallmark, “Oliver (Mabius), Shane (Booth), Rita (Lowe) and Norman (Gustafson) work on identifying the intended recipients of a trio of dead letters which have a surprising, personal impact on all of them.  Meanwhile, after the honeymoon phase Oliver and Shane grapple with finding their footing as a married couple.”
