Vampires have been used to explore everything from romance to monstrosity, but CBS’ upcoming TV vampire comedy pilot Eternally Yours is taking a slightly different bite out of the genre: what happens when immortality doesn’t save you from a long, exhausting marriage?
Allegra Edwards has been cast as the female lead in the pilot, which pairs her opposite Ed Weeks in a story that blends vampire mythology with domestic comedy. The project comes from Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, the creators and showrunners behind CBS’ hit supernatural sitcom Ghosts and is being produced by CBS Studios.
A Vampire Marriage That’s Five Centuries Long
Eternally Yours centers on Liz and Charles, two vampires who have been married for 500 years. Once the stuff of epic romance, their relationship has settled into something far less glamorous: a centuries-long marriage that has outlived its sense of mystery, spontaneity, and shared purpose.
Edwards’ Liz is intelligent, accomplished, and restless. She’s a wife, a mother, a history professor—and a vampire who’s been undead since 1526. While her husband Charles remains firmly stuck in the habits and mindset of the past, Liz is eager to evolve with the modern world. The pilot’s central tension comes not from bloodlust or secret identities, but from Liz’s determination to pull her husband—sometimes kicking and screaming—into the 21st century.
That conflict takes on a new dimension when their daughter begins dating a human. Enter Max, played by Jaren Lewison, whose presence forces Liz and Charles to confront how far removed they’ve become not just from humanity, but from change itself.
A Familiar Creative Team With a Supernatural Track Record
The pilot reunites Edwards with Port and Wiseman, following her guest appearances in Seasons 3 and 4 of Ghosts. That connection is notable, as Ghosts has proven that supernatural concepts can thrive on CBS when filtered through character-based humor rather than genre spectacle.
Port and Wiseman executive produce alongside Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, and Jason Wang, continuing a creative partnership that has successfully balanced high-concept premises with accessible network comedy.
Allegra Edwards’ Genre-Friendly Trajectory
Edwards is no stranger to high-concept storytelling. She previously starred as Ingrid on Upload, the Greg Daniels–created sci-fi comedy that explored digital afterlives and corporate control of immortality—a thematic cousin, in some ways, to Eternally Yours. The series recently wrapped its four-season run, freeing Edwards to step into a very different kind of eternal existence.
Her recent work also includes the independent film Nothing Will Come Of Nothing, an upcoming guest appearance on Netflix’s Bad Thoughts, and voice work in the revival of King of the Hill, further underscoring her range across comedy, genre and character-driven storytelling.
Why Eternally Yours Could Click With Vampire Fans
For vampire audiences accustomed to seeing immortality framed as either tragic or seductive, Eternally Yours offers a lighter but still revealing angle. It asks what eternity looks like when the drama isn’t about surviving forever—but about staying emotionally alive while doing it.
If the pilot moves forward to series, it could stand as a rare example of a vampire story that treats marriage, parenthood and personal growth as the true supernatural challenges. Fangs may still be involved, but the real struggle here is timeless: how to change when you’ve had 500 years not to.
