Hallmark Media president/CEO Wonya Lucas and programming EVP Lisa Hamilton Daly know how much their viewers love and miss certain franchises. Yet when it comes to Good Witch (which ended over a year ago) and Signed, Sealed, Delivered, the execs are not ready to confirm any return timetables.
Good Witch ended its run in July 2021, with a Season 7/series finale in which Cassie (played by Catherine Bell) saved the cousins’ imperiled magic, Stephanie and Adam decide to tie the knot (but Donovan and Abigail broke up) and Cassie’s brother Vincent returned to Middleton.

The Hallmark Channel made history with the series finale of "Good Witch" on Sunday, an episode that featured the first kiss between an LGBTQ couple on one of the cable channel's original series.
The smooch in question was shared by Joy (Kat Barrell) and Zoey (Kyana Teresa), who have also been representing as the first LGBTQ couple in a Hallmark show throughout the "Good Witch" run.
Prior to Joy and Zoey's big finale moment, the only other same-sex kiss to occur on Hallmark Channel's original programming was in the holiday movie "The Christmas House," a 2020 film that featured Jonathan Bennett and Brad Harder as a gay married couple who lock lips during the movie.
But as "The Christmas House" is a movie and the "Good Witch" is a series, the Catherine Bell and James Denton-led show has the title of first Hallmark Channel original series to depict an LGBTQ couple kissing.

"We're going to get you." Warner Bros has released the official trailer for a Christmas horror movie titled Toys of Terror, being released direct-to-vod at the end of this month (just in time for Halloween). A big family moves into a dusty old house in the snowy woods of Washington with hopes of it being a nice holiday escape. But the kids soon discover a stash of old toys that just so happen to belong to a creepy ghost boy. As stranger and stranger things start to happen, some of the kids begin to sense that something in the house is not quite right... Starring Kyana Teresa, Georgia Waters, Verity Marks, Dayo Ade, Saul Elias, and Zoe Fish. This looks super creepy, especially the helmet and the monkey toy (ahhh), and I love mixing in Christmas with horror because that doesn't happen often. Yet another scary horror movie to keep an eye on.
