CBS’s new supernatural sitcom Eternally Yours comes from Ghosts showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, whose decade-old vampire concept has finally reached the screen after Ghosts’ success. Premiering on 8 October, the series follows a family of vampires and combines relationship comedy with the eccentric, warm-hearted ensemble dynamic that made Ghosts popular.

The story centres on 500-year-old married vampires Charles and Liz, whose relationship has become stale, and their adopted daughter Emma, who falls for a human, Max. Their romance forces Emma to reveal the family’s secret, while Charles and Liz reassess their own marriage; the cast also includes Parker Young as Jesse, a vampire who marries human women without revealing his identity. The review praises the chemistry, comic performances and balance between the couples’ contrasting relationships, although it questions why CBS is not pairing the show directly with Ghosts.
