Ed Weeks is set to play one of the lead roles in the CBS comedy pilot “Eternally Yours.” Variety learned.
The single-camera show was selected to be piloted by the broadcaster in July, despite CBS initially opening a development room for the show in mid-2024. It comes from Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, who developed the hit CBS comedy series “Ghosts.”
The official logline for “Eternally Yours” describes the pilot as “An eternal love story about two vampires who have been married for five hundred years and their struggles to accept the human who is dating their daughter.”
Weeks will play Charles, one half of the vampire couple at the center of the series. The character description states: “Nobility in the Middle Ages, Charles is now a pencil pusher who, along with his family, must move every few years to avoid drawing attention to the fact that they never age. Charles disdains modernity and the feeble-minded humans who inhabit it, which only makes matters worse when he learns that his vampire daughter is now dating one.”
Weeks’ best-known television role is his portrayal of Dr. Jeremy Reed on the Fox/Hulu comedy series “The Mindy Project,” which he starred in throughout the show’s six seasons. He also starred in the Fox sitcom “LA to Vegas” and appeared on shows like “House of Lies,” “Dirty Sexy Funny,” “The IT Crowd” and “Not Going Out.” He also starred in films such as “The Leisure Class”, “3rd Street Blackout” and “Drop”.
He is repped by Curate, WME and Yorn Levine.
“Eternally Yours” will be filmed in early 2026. If it were to go to series and debut next fall, it would air alongside “Ghosts,” which was renewed through the 2026-2027 broadcast season in February.
Port and Wiseman are the writers and executive producers of “Eternally Yours.” Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum and Jason Wang also serve as executive producers. CBS Studios will produce.
