CBS’ ‘Eternally Yours’: The Story Of 11-Year-Old Script That Wouldn’t Die & The Podcast That Helped Bring It Back To Life – And Find A Lead
For those lamenting the slow pace of the TV development process, how about one that spans 11 years? That is how long it took for Joe Port and Joe Wiseman‘s new CBS vampire comedy series Eternally Yours, starring Ed Weeks and Allegra Edwards. Their pilot script, written in 2015, got a table read in 2019, a development room in 2024, a pilot order in 2025, and a series pickup in 2026.
The 2019 table read was staged on Andrew Reich and Ben Blacker’s Dead Pilots Society podcast, with Weeks as the male lead. Six years later, he would be cast in the same role in the CBS pilot that went to series for 2026-27. The podcast helped keep Eternally Yours alive through the various twists and turns that included an animation incarnation.
