Get ready for a fang-tastic new comedy that’s bound to sink its teeth into your heart—and spark some heated debates! CBS’s upcoming vampire comedy pilot, Eternally Yours, is here to challenge everything you thought you knew about eternal love, commitment, and family dynamics. But here’s where it gets controversial: can a 500-year marriage survive the ultimate test—a human dating your vampire daughter? And this is the part most people miss: what if the real struggle isn’t immortality, but the mundane challenges of modern relationships?
In this fresh and witty series, Helen J. Shen (Maybe Happy Ending) and Parker Young (The United States of Al) join forces with Ed Weeks, Allegra Edwards, and Jaren Lewison in a pilot that promises laughter, heart, and a dash of supernatural chaos. Developed by the masterminds behind Ghosts, Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, Eternally Yours dives into the lives of Liz (Edwards) and Charles (Weeks), a vampire couple who’ve been married for five centuries. Their seemingly eternal bond is put to the test when their daughter, Emma (Shen), a sharp-tongued yet compassionate veterinarian, brings home Max (Lewison), her human boyfriend. Emma, a commitment-phobe scarred by her parents’ tumultuous marriage, is the ultimate skeptic when it comes to love—but could Max change her mind?
Now, let’s talk about Jesse (Young), the character who might just steal the show—and divide opinions. A lovable goofball in a house of overthinkers, Jesse has a unique approach to immortality: he only marries humans. His logic? “Have fun for a while, then you get a new model.” But here’s the twist: people are living longer than ever, and Jesse’s now stuck in a decades-long marriage with a woman who could pass for his mother. Is his strategy genius or just plain reckless? We’ll let you decide.
Written by Port and Wiseman, the pilot not only reunites Young with CBS (where he starred in United States of Al) but also showcases Shen’s versatility, fresh off her Tony Award-winning performance in Maybe Happy Ending and her role in The Devil Wears Prada 2. With executive producers Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, and Jason Wang on board, and CBS Studios backing the project, Eternally Yours is poised to be a must-watch.
But here’s the real question: Can a show about immortal beings teach us something new about love, commitment, and the human condition? Or is it just another quirky comedy with fangs? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—and don’t hold back! Filming begins soon, so get ready to stake your claim on this one.
