A new companion series to Ghosts shows its fangs.
The Ghosts cast won’t return for season 6 until 2027. However, audiences will not be completely missing out on the Woodstone Manor bunch. CBS confirmed that the long-running comedy will air two special hour-long episodes, timed for Halloween and Christmas, before it returns next spring. The network will still have some supernatural comedy representation on a different front.
CBS announced that Eternally Yours, a new vampire comedy, will premiere in Fall 2026. An exact release date has not been specified. However, the first image from the upcoming supernatural sitcom highlights The Mindy Project alum Ed Weeks and Upload’s Allegra Edwards as they bare their teeth.
The image focuses on three people standing indoors. Two of them are sporting vampire fangs, and the other looks reasonably tense. It previews the premise, which is centered on an unhappy vampire couple and a human who enters their undead lives.

Eternally Yours follows vampire couple Charles and Liz, whose once-passionate relationship has grown stale after 500 years. Living in Seattle with their coven, their routine is disrupted when their daughter brings home a human boyfriend, forcing them to question whether their love can truly last forever.
The project comes from Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, the showrunners and executive producers of Ghosts, and is a single-camera comedy. Like Ghosts, Eternally Yours blends comedy with the supernatural. It also films in the same location as Ghosts, all of which positions it as a potential companion series.

CBS Kills An Original Ghosts Character For The Very First Time
Five years since it premiered, CBS finally says goodbye to an original character from the Woodstone Mansion in Ghosts season 5, episode 14.
Helen J Shen, Jaren Lewison, Parker Young, Rose Abdoo, Tristan Michael Brown, and Shylo Molina also star in Eternally Yours. Behind the scenes, Port and Wiseman executive produce alongside Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, and Jason Wang. There is no word yet on whether Ghosts will crossover with the new vampire show.
Coverage of Eternally Yours has consistently described it as a “companion show” rather than a spinoff, which suggests that a crossover with the original comedy may not be an immediate focus. The aim will likely see whether the new show, a romcom of sorts, can launch without the benefit of expanding from an already established adaptation.
Ghosts is based on the BBC comedy of the same name, which gave it a good basis to draw from before it ultimately stood on its own. CBS might want Eternally Yours to stand on its own, as well, prior to mulling any spirited connections.
