Hallmark has delivered some good news. This week, the network announced their TV movie series Signed, Sealed, Delivered will return for the 2017-2018 season.
The franchise began as a TV series in 2014. From Martha Williamson, the dramedy follows four postal workers who find the recipients of undelivered mail.

BEVERLY HILLS, CA – July 27, 2017 – Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, the premiere television destination for thrilling mysteries, will present a slate of new, original world premiere movies for its upcoming program schedule. Cable television’s fastest-growing network unveiled plans for new movie installments of its returning popular mystery franchises, along with two newly developed deals: one with Al Roker (“Today”) that stars Holly Robinson Peete (“Chicago Fire,” “Angel of Christmas”) and one with crisis management expert, Judy Smith. The announcement was made today as part of Crown Media Family Networks’ bi-annual TV Critics Association Press Tour.
Viewers will be treated to more of their favorite mysteries with new installments of “Garage Sale Mystery” starring Lori Loughlin (“Fuller House”); “Aurora Teagarden” starring Candace Cameron Bure (“Fuller House”) and Marilu Henner (“Taxi”); “Gourmet Detective” starring Dylan Neal (Fifty Shades of Grey) and Brooke Burns (“The Chase”); “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” starring Eric Mabius (“Ugly Betty”), Kristin Booth (“Orphan Black”), Crystal Lowe (“Primeval: New
World”) and Geoff Gustafson (“Rogue”); “Hailey Dean Mysteries” starring Kellie Martin (“ER,” “The Guest Book”) and “Fixer Upper Mysteries” starring Grammy Award nominee Jewel and Colin Ferguson (“The Vampire Diaries”).Building on these audience favorites, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will release new, original world premieres. These highly anticipated mysteries include “Darrow & Darrow” (working title) from Emmy Award ® Winner Phoef Sutton (“Cheers,” “Boston Legal”) starring Kimberly Williams-Paisley (“Father of the Bride”), Tom Cavanagh (“The Flash,” “Ed”) and Wendie Malick (“Hot in Cleveland”) and “The Midnight Show Murders,” based on the book penned by Al Roker and Dick Lochte, which will star Holly Robinson Peete. Also new to the network is the original world premiere movie “The Adjuster,” which is loosely based on the real-life experiences and professional work of Judy Smith, crisis management expert and inspiration for the TV series “Scandal.”
Viewers have made Hallmark Movies & Mysteries the home for mysteries on cable television, as reflected in a raise in ratings continuing in 2017. The second quarter of 2017 tied the fourth quarter of 2016 as the network’s highest quarter ever among Total Day HH delivery, and the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Original Movie Premieres during that quarter were up year over year by +59% among W25-54. Most recently, June 2017 became the network’s highest June in history among Total Day HH, W18-49, A18-49, A25-54, and Total Viewer delivery, and became Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ second highest month ever behind an astronomical December 2016 among Total Day HH delivery.*
“Our viewers have really responded to the suspense, sleuthing and thrills in our original movies, and we are excited to deliver even more high quality mystery content through the rest of the year and in to 2018,” said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming and Network Publicity, Crown Media Family Networks. “We know they will love the new installments of their favorite franchises and are confident that they’ll embrace the new mysteries we have in store.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Signed, Sealed, Delivered movies? Are you glad there’ll be more?
I love Martha Williamson for creating this remarkably uplifting series. I love the four characters. Every episode is an adventure for the heart and mind; following the clues as they lead to further clues and enjoying the miracles along the way. I am so happy there will be more. I am binge watching old series now, knowing I have new ones to look forward to. My respect and appreciation to writers, cast,crew. Thank you.
Love this show. Please do more new episodes!!!
Loved this series. When and when will it be available again
Absolutely enjoy Signed Sealed Delivered, what a refreshing series. The series is tender, comical and tearful. The cast presents such wonderful performances. So glad I was fortunate to have watched the series. Well worth watching.
Best tv series ever! Cleverly written! Love the characters! I own the series and movies. Anxious for season 2!
Signed Sealed and Delivered is my favorite Hallmark series!!! I do hope it continues!!!
Very glad there will be more mysteries, especially Signed, Sealed and Delivered. I just DON’T LIKE THE FACT THAT HALLMARK MAY BE CHOOSING TO SHOW THEM EXCLUSIVELY ON THEIR SUBSCRIPTION CHANNEL FOR WHICH YOU HAVE TO PAY $5.99/MONTH. This may not mean a lot to others, but to me this just allows them a foot in the door to start charging more and more. And why start a subscription channel when you’re company is making so much money on the regular cable networks; unless, of course, you’r that greedy!!!
Love, love, love the show. My husband and I watch every show. Glad they are returning.
I absolutely love the signed sealed and delivered series of movies. Please keep them coming. I don’t miss any of them. Looking forward to another one for 2018 soon. Thanks for such a great cast and show.
Being the daughter of a Former Postmaster, these stories have a special appeal. I watch each episode many times and can hardly wait for the next release. I have all the dvds available and have given some as gifts.
I bought all the movies and the short series as well. I refuse to allow them out of my home, so every who wants to watch has to visit. Good way to get a weekend with family you haven’t seen in awhile. We all pile up on couches and start them from the beginning. They never get old even though I know them by heart now. Great actors, wonderful messages, well rounded story-lines. Just lovely.
The best TV movies on television. My friends and I schedule movie nights when we see a new SSD movie scheduled. I also rewatch the originals weeks before the new ones are scheduled so that i am all caught up on my favorite charaters. Thank you, Martha for your dedication to enjoyable watching.
I am thrilled this cast gets to continue performing as they deliver the perfect mix of quirk. Such a wonderful show to watch! I haven’t watched anything else that I have experienced so many tears and laughter all in one sitting.
My son and I watched every episode . I’m so glad to hear they will be returning. Can’t wait !! We love this show.
I and my family love this series and enjoy watching it together
