Eternally Yours: The creators of Ghosts are set to work on the pilot of a new romantic comedy about vampires for CBS

CBS has ordered a pilot on Eternally Yours, a new romantic vampire comedy written by Ghosts' showrunners. The pilot will be scripted by Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, who also scripted Ghosts for CBS. The plot involves a 500-year-old married vampire couple and their struggle as their daughter starts dating a human.

This is a further sign of CBS's interest in supernatural comedy as Ghosts goes into its fifth season this October. The pilot does not have a set filming or release date yet but has been in development since August 2024.

The origin of Eternally Yours

CBS is growing its supernatural comedy portfolio with the launch of Eternally Yours. The upcoming pilot was the creation of Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, the creators of CBS's popular show Ghosts. Development on Eternally Yours started in August 2024, with a focused writers' room brought together earlier in 2025. CBS officially greenlit the pilot in July 2025, after months of working on the show.

Port and Wiseman are both writing and executive producing the pilot. They will be joined by executive producers Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, and Jason Wang. CBS Studios, the producer of Ghosts, will produce Eternally Yours.

The news comes as Ghosts continues to be a big hit at CBS, which renewed the show for a fifth season. CBS continues to fortify its schedule with genre comedies that draw large audiences, part of a larger strategy to provide more fantasy and supernatural content in primetime comedies.

The premise and story of the Pilot

As described by the official logline, Eternally Yours is a show about a 500-year-old vampire couple who find themselves in conflict and humor over their difficulty in embracing a human romantically involved with their daughter. The combination of a marriage spanning centuries with contemporary romantic entanglements seeks to give the traditional vampire comedy genre a new twist.

This arrangement forms an "eternal love story" with supernatural and generational motifs. CBS's pilot order instructs the writers to delve deeper into these motifs, although at this point the show has no confirmed release or filming schedule.

Production on the project involved a writers' room in the early months, finishing up before the official pilot order was made. There are no reports as of yet on any casting choices.

CBS is looking at a potential pilot season for fall, yet the creators will return to work on Ghosts after creating the pilot, potentially handing over continuing showrunning duties to other writers if the show gets picked up.

Connection to Ghosts and CBS's strategy

Ghosts is a supernatural sitcom that adapted the BBC original for the American market, following a young couple who inherit a haunted mansion. Joe Port and Joe Wiseman spearheaded the adaptation, which has turned out to be one of CBS's biggest comedy hits since its 2021 launch.

CBS's move to commission another supernatural comedy from its creators indicates that the network is serious about the genre and the writing team. Ghosts, which has set the tone for quirky comedies on the network with its balance of heart and laughter, started it all.

By coupling supernatural features with real-world family and relationship storylines, CBS seeks to replicate the success of Ghosts with Eternally Yours. The pilot order for Eternally Yours arrives as internal adjustments at CBS, where the entertainment division of the network is trying to refresh its lineup after the recent cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Executives are not being bound by strict timelines, and new pilots like Eternally Yours are given more freedom for development.
