Tuesday June 30th, 2026 - 13:30Duration: 1 hour 40 minutes
Once one of London’s most celebrated artists, Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) has spent years hidden away from the world, surrounded by the unfinished masterpieces he refuses to show anyone. When his estranged children discover rumours of a priceless collection of unseen paintings locked inside his studio, they hatch a plan to claim their inheritance before it’s too late.
They recruit Lori (Michaela Coel), a talented young painter with a knack for forgery, to pose as Julian’s assistant and gain his trust. But as Lori becomes drawn into the aging artist’s world, what begins as a deception turns into an unexpected connection—one that could change all of their lives.
A moving and sharply observed drama about family, ambition, art, and second chances, The Christophers stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel in a story of secrets, legacy, and the masterpieces we leave behind.
