CBS has made the final scripted programming decision ahead of revealing its 2026-27 schedule next Wednesday, April 15. The network has picked up one of its two comedy pilots, Eternally Yours, to series while passing on the other, The Tillbrooks (fka Regency).
With that, CBS will be dropping below four comedy series on the air in one season for the first time in a long time — or ever — as Eternally Yours joins the network’s two returning half-hour series, the single-camera Ghosts and multi-camera Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. In addition to not going forward with The Tillbrooks, CBS canceled freshman DMV, and its veteran sitcom The Neighborhood also is ending.
The single-camera vampire comedy Eternally Yours, starring Ed Weeks and Allegra Edwards, comes from Ghosts showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman and CBS Studios. While it has a more contemporary setting than Ghosts, Eternally Yours has always been envisioned as a potential companion. In addition to a common supernatural theme, both are filming in the same Montreal location under the same showrunners, making them compatible.
Eternally Yours‘ pedigree gave it an inherent edge over The Tillbrooks, a multi-camera sitcom from Tara Hernandez and Warner Bros. TV starring Kate Walsh and Rhys Darby. The Eternally Yours pilot also did better at the network screenings last week, sources said.
This is a repeat of last year when CBS also was choosing between a single-camera comedy pilot from CBS Studios, DMV, and a multi-cam pilot from WBTV, Zarna, and ultimately went with the CBS Studios single-camera one. Coincidentally, the winning pilots in both cases, Eternally Yours and DMV, were both directed and executive produced by Trent O’Donnell who also directed and executive produced the pilot for Ghosts.
Passing on The Tillbrooks helps CBS, in its first upfront since parent Paramount Global’s acquisition by Skydance, balance its books. The network is going down a comedy series next season, 3 vs. 4 this season, but going up a drama, with two new shows joining, Cupertino and Einstein, and only one current drama not returning in 2026-27, Watson.
Today’s series order caps a long development journey for Eternally Yours which two years ago was already in priority development at CBS Studios. Working around Port and Wiseman’s schedule on Ghosts, CBS ordered a development room for the project in August 2024. A pilot order followed a year later, in July 2025.
Eternally Yours is a family comedy centered around Charles (Weeks) and Liz (Edwards) – a vampire couple whose once-passionate romance has devolved into a pulseless marriage after 500 years together. Living in present-day Seattle with their oddball coven, they’ve settled into an eternal rut—until their daughter’s earnest human boyfriend unexpectedly enters their lives and forces them to confront whether their love can survive forever… or if forever is a life sentence.
Helen J Shen, Jaren Lewison and Parker Young also star, with Rose Abdoo, Tristan Michael Brown and Shylo Molina rounding out the series regular cast.
Port and Wiseman executive produce alongside Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, and Jason Wang.
