CBS Orders Vampire Comedy ‘Eternally Yours’ to Series, Passes on ‘The Tillbrooks’
CBS has finalized its scripted programming decisions ahead of the 2026-27 season, officially picking up the single-camera vampire comedy Eternally Yours to series. While the network is expanding its supernatural offerings, the move comes alongside a significant trimming of its comedy slate, including a pass on the multi-cam pilot The Tillbrooks (formerly known as Regency).
The decision marks a shift for the network, as CBS will drop below four comedy series on the air in a single season for the first time in years. The upcoming schedule will feature Eternally Yours alongside returning hits Ghosts and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.
Inside ‘Eternally Yours’: A Supernatural Companion to ‘Ghosts’
Developed by Joe Port and Joe Wiseman—the team behind the American version of Ghosts—Eternally Yours is designed as a potential companion piece to its predecessor. Both series share a supernatural theme, the same showrunners, and are filmed at the same location in Montreal.
The series stars Ed Weeks and Allegra Edwards as Charles and Liz, a vampire couple who have been married for 500 years. The plot centers on their struggle to accept the human boyfriend of their daughter, played by Parker Young, a conflict that forces the couple to examine if their own love can truly survive eternity. The pilot was directed and executive produced by Trent O’Donnell, with additional executive production from Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, and Jason Wang via CBS Studios.
The Cuts: ‘The Tillbrooks’ and ‘The Neighborhood’
Not every project made the cut. CBS passed on The Tillbrooks, a multi-camera sitcom from Tara Hernandez and Warner Bros TV starring Kate Walsh and Rhys Darby. Sources indicate that Eternally Yours held an inherent edge due to its pedigree and stronger performance during network screenings last week.
The network is also parting ways with several other titles. Freshman comedy DMV has been canceled, and the long-running veteran sitcom The Neighborhood is coming to an finish, with its series finale scheduled for May 11. The sophomore drama Watson was recently canceled.
Looking Ahead to the 2026-27 Schedule
With the pickup of Eternally Yours, CBS has no more pending scripted series decisions. While the comedy side is leaner, the network is bolstering its drama slate with two new series: Cupertino and Einstein.
CBS is expected to reveal its full 2026-27 fall schedule on April 15. Given the shared talent and production logistics, industry analysts suggest the network may pair Eternally Yours with Ghosts, which has already been renewed through Season 6 following critical acclaim and a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating for its second and third seasons.
