Get ready for a bite of something different! The upcoming CBS comedy pilot, 'Eternally Yours', is set to add a unique twist to the vampire genre. With a stellar cast including Helen J Shen and Parker Young, this show promises to be a captivating blend of humor and supernatural drama. But here's where it gets controversial... Prepare to dive into a tale of eternal love, family dynamics, and the challenges of accepting a human suitor for a vampire couple.
'Eternally Yours' is written by Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, the creative minds behind the popular series 'Ghosts'. The story centers around Liz (Allegra Edwards) and Charles (Ed Weeks), a vampire couple who have been married for a staggering 500 years. Their peaceful lives are disrupted when they meet Max (Jaren Lewison), a human who is dating their daughter, Emma (Helen J Shen). Emma, a veterinarian with a cynical and sardonic personality, has been a witness to her parents' tumultuous marriage, which has left her with a commitment-phobic outlook on relationships.
Parker Young, known for his role in 'The United States of Al', plays Jesse, a lovable goofball and under-thinker in a house of over-thinkers. Jesse has been part of Charles and Liz's vampire coven since the mid-1800s, and his trick to avoiding eternal commitment is to only marry humans. But with people living longer than ever, he finds himself in a 40-year marriage with a woman who could be his mother!
The pilot also stars Ed Weeks, Allegra Edwards, and Jaren Lewison, and is executive produced by Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, and Jason Wang. With filming set to begin soon, 'Eternally Yours' is poised to be a fresh and entertaining addition to the CBS lineup. So, get ready to sink your teeth into this vampire comedy and see if you can handle the eternal love story that unfolds!
