CBS Debuts 'Eternally Yours,' a Marriage-Centered Vampire Sitcom

Joe Wiseman and Joe Port aim for a family-friendly take on vampire lore that foregrounds marriage and domestic humor to set the show apart from darker genre peers.

Overview

  • The series premiered Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026, at 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS and on Paramount+, opening with a 22-minute pilot sent to critics.
  • Eternally Yours centers on Charles and Liz, a vampire couple married for 500 years, and their extended household in Seattle with a principal cast that includes Ed Weeks, Allegra Edwards, Helen J. Shen, Parker Young, Jaren Lewison, and Rose Abdoo.
  • Creators Joe Wiseman and Joe Port, who developed the U.S. version of Ghosts after originally pitching Eternally Yours, serve as co-creators, co-showrunners, and executive producers on the new show.
  • Early reviews describe the pilot as congenial but uneven, praising some jokes and performances while saying the series will need time to carve a distinct identity from Ghosts and from darker vampire comedies like What We Do in the Shadows.
  • The show establishes specific, comic vampire rules—daylight outings under fog with sunscreen, male vampires fathering half-vampire children who age normally—and its creators stress broadcast limits and family-friendly choices that shape tone and storytelling.
