Let’s see what we dig up on this week of pop culture stories, some of which will be of the favorite TV movie star variety. Hopefully there’ll be a few other fun ones, too.
POP CULTURE NEWS ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY-THREE
Let’s start things with two Hallmark news stories. The first of which, which has fans ecstatic, is more official news that the POstables from Signed, Sealed, Delivered will return in not one but two upcoming new originals. The first is will air in 2024, the second in 2025. 2024’s title Signed, Sealed, Delivered: A Tale of Three Letters will have the gang working on a case with a “personal impact” and finds Shane and Oliver trying to settle into post-honeymoon marriage. The second is Signed, Sealed, Delivered: To the Moon and Back and will be a road trip. The primary four cast members will also return.
Next in Hallmark adjacent news, favorite actor Ryan Paevey took to Twitter and said he has “no word” from Hallmark about new productions. He goes on to say, he “may take 2024 off from acting.” What do you think? Do you think this sounds a little dramatic and the favorite will be back? Or do you think his writing that he’s “weary” of this world and that past “8 months of life in this industry have left a pretty bitter taste in my mouth, and I need some time away…” is something he’s going to take seriously? Share your thoughts below.
