Crystal Lowe has stepped behind the camera to direct two Hallmark movies so far: Shifting Gears, which came out in early 2024, and This Time Each Year. But her talents aren’t limited to Hallmark—she’s also directed three short films outside the network, proving she’s a force to be reckoned with both in front of and behind the camera.

Though nothing’s been officially announced yet, it’s likely that Crystal Lowe will be back directing another Hallmark movie in 2025. After the success of Shifting Gears and the anticipation of This Time Each Year, there’s definitely buzz about her next project.

Crystal Lowe teased on both her Instagram and in our interview that Signed, Sealed, Delivered fans might spot a familiar face in her new movie This Time Each Year. While she didn’t reveal exactly who it is, we can’t help but speculate – could it be one of the beloved POstables like Kristin Booth, Eric Mabius, or Geoff Gustafson making a surprise appearance? Keep an eye out, because this possible cameo is sure to excite fans of the series!
