Plot Synopsis
A dedicated quartet of civil servants in the Dead Letter Office of the U.S. Postal System transforms themselves into an elite team of lost-mail detectives. Their determination to deliver the seemingly undeliverable takes them out of the post office into an unpredictable world, where letters and packages from the past save lives, solve crimes, reunite old loves, and change futures by arriving late, but always miraculously on time. The intrepid team is led by the charming and handsome, but idiosyncratic, Oliver, who still considers the stamped and mailed letter to be the gold standard of human communication. His hapless team of lost letter experts, free-spirited Rita and oddly-intuitive Norman, are thrown for a loop when a beautiful, no-nonsense technophile named Shane is mistakenly transferred to their inner sanctum. She soon gets the crew to investigates a lost love letter from a sick woman, growing deeply invested in her love story in so doing. When the search leads the team to a falsely imprisoned man, they realize that both love and a man's life are at stake. Taking their investigation outside the boundaries of the postal system, the Dead Letters Office works to clear the name of the wrongfully accused man and reunite him with the love of his life. Martha Williamson, executive producer of TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL, returned to television as the executive producer and creator of SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED, which started as a backdoor pilot and Hallmark Channel Original Movie of the Week, premiering on Saturday, October 12, 2013 at 9pm ET/PT, and was picked up by Hallmark Channel as a series that premiered on Sunday, April 20, 2014 at 8pm ET/PT. In the series, the role of the team's supervisor, portrayed by Daphne Zuniga in the TV movie, was played by a different TV icon every two episodes, including appearances by: Valerie Harper as Theresa Capodiamonte (Episodes 1 & 2); Della Reese as Cora Brandt (Episodes 3 & 4); Marilu Henner as Glynis Rucker (Episode 6: May 25); Valerie Bertinelli as Rebecca Starkwell (Episodes 7 & 8: June 1 & 8); Dick Van Dyke as Kenneth Brandt; and more.
