[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for Signed, Sealed, Delivered: A Tale of Three Letters.]
The POstables family is about to expand even more! The 14th movie in the series, Signed, Sealed, Delivered: A Tale of Three Letters, premiered on July 12 and concluded with some exciting baby news.
Shane (Kristin Booth) is pregnant! In the final moments of A Tale of Three Letters, Shane reveals to Oliver (Eric Mabius) that they are expecting a baby. Mabius spoke with TV Insider and admitted that he was “surprised” by Shane’s pregnancy. “I can usually anticipate what Martha [Williamson] is going to do, but I didn’t see that coming in this movie.” However, it made total “sense” when he reflected on Oliver and Shane’s journey in the latest movie.
The POstables will actually be welcoming two babies very soon. Norman (Geoff Gustafson) and Rita (Crystal Lowe) are adopting a baby girl.
“It’s exciting because they’ve had training wheels in the form of their best friends, Norman and Rita, who have been navigating uncharted waters,” the actor continued. “This movie is largely about figuring out what makes them ready to pursue a life together, and the next logical step is really the culmination of this movie, which opens us up to a whole new world of possibilities, with both of them going through this experience at the same time.”
He mentioned that Oliver and Shane will have a lot on their plate as new parents. “It takes a village to raise a baby, but Oliver and Shane have surrounded themselves with such amazing people,” Mabius said.
In A Tale of Three Letters, Oliver and Shane had to overcome early obstacles in their marriage. They started going to therapy to work through their issues, which ultimately strengthened their bond.
“We’ve seen plenty of couples in therapy scenes before, but I felt like these really resonated because they were truthful, uncomfortable, painful at times, and full of despair. But this is the therapy process, working through these challenges and letting go of some control,” the Ugly Betty alum explained.
Oliver and Shane had a slow burn romance across multiple Signed, Sealed, Delivered movies. Now that they are together, Mabius told TV Insider that their relationship was “truly earned.” Some may have been frustrated by the prolonged build-up before they became romantically involved, but Mabius believes it laid a powerful foundation.
Mabius remained secretive about the next POstables adventure, Signed, Sealed, Delivered: To the Moon and Back, the 15th movie in the series. However, he mentioned that he does not foresee the franchise slowing down anytime soon. With a new generation of POstables on the horizon, it seems like the Signed, Sealed, Delivered universe will continue to shine brightly.
