Production
Development
Port and Wiseman, writing partners since meeting as assistants on the UPN animated series Dilbert in 1999, conceived the series in 2015 out of a conversation about long-term creative partnerships and the idea of a marriage extended indefinitely.[5] They wrote the pilot script that year, unaware at the time of the 2014 film What We Do in the Shadows.[5] The script led to the pair being hired to develop CBS's adaptation of the British series Ghosts, which they went on to run.[5]
The script remained unproduced for several years and at one stage was considered as an animated project.[5] In 2019 it received a table read on the podcast Dead Pilots Society, hosted by Andrew Reich and Ben Blacker, with Weeks reading the male lead — the role he would be cast in six years later.[5] CBS ordered a development room for the project in 2024, followed by a pilot order in 2025.[5]
Series order
CBS ordered Eternally Yours to series in April 2026 for the 2026–27 television season, days ahead of the network's schedule announcement.[2][3] At the same time, the network declined to move forward with its other comedy pilot, The Tillbrooks.[2] The series was the first half-hour addition to the CBS lineup for that season, joining the dramas Cupertino and Einstein.[3]
Port and Wiseman write and executive produce alongside Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum and Jason Wang, with CBS Studios and The Tannenbaum Company producing.[2][3] Trent O'Donnell directed and executive produced the pilot.[3]
