CBS’s newest supernatural comedy asks what happens when forever starts to feel a little too long.Eternally Yours follows Charles (Ed Weeks) and Liz (Allegra Edwards), vampires married for five centuries who’ve long since lost their spark, going through the motions of eternity alongside their eccentric coven in modern-day Seattle. Their stagnation gets upended when their daughter Emma starts dating Max, a well-meaning human, forcing the couple to reckon with whether their marriage—and forever itself—is worth holding onto. cnx.cmd.push(function() {cnx({playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530",}).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796");});The series’s pilot has an against-the-odds origin story, originally being written in 2015 by Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, the same writing duo behind Ghosts. Weeks first read the script in 2019 for the podcast Dead Pilots Society, which stages readings of pilots that were bought but never picked up. Seven years later, the script resurfaced, with CBS greenlighting the project after the success of Ghosts. As Weeks recalls, “I guess in the interim, Ghosts had become a huge success, and CBS had given Eternally Yours another chance, and we’re all so relieved they did because it’s been a dream.” The long wait didn’t dampen the rest of the cast’s enthusiasm once the script landed in their hands. “Anything that makes me laugh out loud while I’m reading it is always a good sign, and that happened every page,” Edwards says. Helen J. Shen (Emma), a longtime fan of vampire lore, appreciates that humor, admiring how the show took something dark and was able to “spin it and have a heartwarming element to it” as well. Parker Young (Jesse) feels similarly, sharing that he “was so thrilled just to have the opportunity” to be part of the project. Having such a fun script to work with, Jaren Lewison (Max) summed up the resulting bond the ensemble shares now: “We have kind of become a bit of a coven.” That camaraderie extended beyond the Eternally Yours cast. Asked if the Ghosts cast offered any advice on working with CBS, Lewison recalls, “I think the biggest thing is they said, ‘You’re just going to have the best time.’ They were like, ‘You’re going to be so taken care of. You’re going to have so much fun; just enjoy it.’” The connection naturally raised the question of a crossover between the two CBS supernatural comedies. Edwards (who guest starred as Donna on Ghosts) doesn’t rule out a visit, saying, “I would love to go to Woodstone as a family. A little traveling vacation to Woodstone! They could put us anywhere.” Eternally Yours premiered Oct. 8, 2026 on CBS. New episodes debut Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS.The post CBS Comedy Eternally Yours Examines the 500-Year Itch of Vampire Marriage appeared first on Den of Geek.
