‘Eternally Yours’- CBS Orders Vampire Comedy Pilot from ‘Ghosts’ Showrunners
As paranormal sitcom “Ghosts” gears up for a fifth season on CBS, the network appears to be venturing further into the supernatural by ordering up a pilot for vampire comedy series “Eternally Yours.”
The series will follow “a long-married — as in, for 500 years — vampire couple and their struggle to accept the human who is dating their daughter. “
The project, hailing from “Ghosts” showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, has been in the works since August 2024 and assembled a development writers’ room earlier this year before finally receiving the pilot order, THR notes.
Port and Wiseman will write the pilot and executive produce with Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, and Jason Wang.
“Ghosts” premiered in 2021 and has since gone on to become one of CBS’s most popular and critically acclaimed shows. It follows a young couple who inherited a rundown country estate, only to find it is filled with ghosts. The series’ fifth season will premiere on October 16, just ahead of Halloween.
With “Eternally Yours” pilot officially greenlit, expect to hear more about the vampire comedy soon.
Director Ishirō Honda (Godzilla) brought The Human Vapor to the screen for Toho back in 1960, and the classic tokusatsu film is getting a brand new series reboot from Netflix.
All eight episodes of “Human Vapor” will premiere July 2 on Netflix.
Watch the brand new official trailer below.
Here’s the full official synopsis: “Kenji Okamoto (Shun Oguri), a detective on suspension, is recruited to hunt down the criminal behind a series of unprecedented murders. It all starts when a college professor suddenly swells and explodes on live television.
“Before anyone can process this bizarre event, a man calling himself the Human Vapor (UTA) announces that he will perform a series of murders, sending society into a great panic.
“Kenji and reporter Kyoko (Yu Aoi) devote themselves to uncovering the truth and catching the culprit, who seems to be mocking the authorities as they struggle to close in on him. With each new killing, he corrodes society with a formless, pervasive fear.”
“A legendary Toho film is rebooted with a brand-new story,” Netflix previews. “VFX by the Academy Award-winning team Shirogumi that amazed the world with its work on Godzilla Minus One is combined with an extraordinary sense of scale, represented by grand car chases. A visual experience of a new dimension that far surpasses past Japanese drama series.”
Shun Oguri, Yu Aoi, Suzu Hirose, Kento Hayashi, and Yutaka Takenouchi star.
Shinzo Katayama directed “Human Vapor,” written by Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan) and Ryu Yong-jae. This marks the first collaboration between Netflix and Toho Studios.
