The wait is nearly over for fans of the Signed, Sealed & Delivered movies. Hallmark Movies & Mysteries has announced that the long-awaited 11th movie in the series is coming this fall.
Created by Martha Williamson, Signed, Sealed, Delivered revolves around four postal workers — Oliver O’Toole (Eric Mabius), Shane McInerney (Kristin Booth), Rita Haywith-Dorman (Crystal Lowe), and Norman Xavier Dorman (Geoff Gustafson). The foursome act as detectives and track down the intended recipients of often long-overdue undeliverable mail. Their missions take them into unpredictable stories where redirected letters and packages can save lives, solve crimes, reunite old loves, and change futures. The mail arrives late but somehow, it’s on time.
The Signed, Sealed, Delivered story began in October 2013 as a backdoor pilot movie on Hallmark and did well enough to get the go-ahead for a weekly TV series. That lasted for 10 episodes, airing from April until June in 2014. Rather than renew it for a second season, Hallmark opted to move Signed, Sealed, Delivered to sister channel Hallmark Movies & Mysteries and has kept it going as a series of television films. The 10th movie aired in July 2018.
It was expected that the 11th feature would debut in 2020 but filming was delayed due to the pandemic. Production is currently underway in Canada on the newest movie. Here are some timeline updates from Williamson and the cast.
#POstables. A little bird has been whispering. Nothing is official, yet. I’ll believe it when we’re gathered together, embracing one another for our table reading of @MarthaMoonWater ‘s newest brilliant script. It seems as though we may be on for SSD#11. This summer. Voices heard

Based on the last tweet, it looks like Gregory Harrison will be reprising his role as Oliver’s father, Joe O’Toole. The 11th movie doesn’t have a title yet but it will air on Sunday, October 17th, at 9:00 PM.
SPOILER ALERT Here’s a teaser about the upcoming movie’s storyline: As Shane (Booth) and Oliver (Mabius) prepare for their wedding, they must pause to help a young boy fighting leukemia reunite with his long-lost friend. Their search is complicated by Shane’s mother who arrives with her own plan for their wedding. Meanwhile, Rita (Lowe) and Norman (Gustafson) navigate the challenges of trying to start a family, but a new employee in the Dead Letter Office may deliver the answer.
What do you think? Do you enjoy the Signed, Sealed, & Delivered movies? Are you looking forward to watching the 11th movie on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel?
I love these movies! I hope they continue to keep making the movies. There are so few movies that make people feel good and show that kindness and good deeds are still wanted by movie fans. These movies touch hearts. And when hearts are touched, the ripple effect begins and spreads.
I love this show can’t wait for the next movie
cant wait, this series is great for the whole family, i hope they make at LEAST 11 more, and contine to provide fun and entertainment for all, its refreshing that there’s no / little “political” garbage in these movies and are all about family , fun and good times
Thank you so much for creating and filming a new Signed, Sealed, and Delivered movie. I’ve Loved every one of the series and am looking forward to this new one. I can’t wait for the wedding! The characters are terrific and the storylines are always very moving. Please make more!! Certainly one of the best series on television.
This show is amazing!! I can’t wait for Oct 17th to see the new 11th movie. I hope they make more new shows!!
This is one of the best series ever written and produced. Wonderful characters and story lines. Love the four main actors, but glad Gregory Harrison will still be part. I don’t know how much more you can do with these characters, but every episode has been enjoyed several times. Lost Without You and Higher Ground, plus the two about the Amidan family are favorites. I appreciate the spiritual aspect also.
Can’t wait for the new SSD show. I absolutely love it. Make it a series.
I love this series, watching each movie more than once, get something more every time. Great choice of actors! Can’t wait for October 17th!
We can’t wait to see the Postables again! Absolutely the best, clean, family drama to come out in YEARS!
Kudos to Hallmark for producing this show, and kudos to the cast for being so loveably true to character!
Such joy and excitement! This series had me hooked from the pilot and the journey the team have gone through is truly wonderful. I’m not sure that at my age hoping the weeks will pass quickly is a good thing … Come on October.
I love Signed Sealed and Delivered!!!
Can’t wait to see the new one.
We need more of them!
Love all the people in the show and Oliver’s Dad too!
I love this show it has been with me all through Covid I am so grateful for DVD’s. I am really looking forward to this new show and the DVD when it comes out.
I found this series a few months ago and I’m in love! Have already rewatched all of them, then watched with my daughter. Love the facial expressions, you really feel what they are feeling. So happy to laugh, cry and feel great at the end. Wonderful writing
absolutely have loved this heartwarming series
We missed a couple of the Signed Sealed & Delivered movies. I would like to see ALL of them available for streaming ( on YouTube TV please), so that those of us that missed 1 or 2 can watch them. In fact, I would like to see them a lot more often…quarterly, monthly, weekly, would be nice!
