He’s a vampire. He sucks the life out of people because his own life bores him so much.
A plague rages across Europe. On a remote island, former actress Alice (Lisa Dillon) and army Captain Edgar (Will Keen) are quarantined together – locked in a bitter, brutal, and addictive marriage. When an old friend arrives to help celebrate their wedding anniversary, it’s the perfect excuse for the couple to take their terrifying games to a new level.

It runs from January 31 – March 7, 2026.

Jeroen Frank Kales joins the cast opposite Cusack as Vincent van Gogh, with Rawaed Asde, Amber Van Der Brugge,and Ayesha Ostler completing the cast.
What I wanted was someday, somehow to be the cause of something remarkable.
Before the sunflowers, before the madness, before the fame, there was a quiet kitchen in South London.
It’s 1873, when Ursula’s modest boarding house is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of a young lodger by the name of Vincent van Gogh. As the household is thrown into chaos, the intimacy of daily life sparks something unexpected between them: longing, purpose and transformation.
It runs from March 14 – April 18, 2026.
