Apple TV is expanding its crime drama lineup with 12 12 12, a new heist series led by Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan. The thriller will make its global debut on November 13, 2026, and promises a distinctive approach to the familiar heist formula.
Rather than telling its story in a straight line, the series divides the action across three connected periods. That structure gives the show its unusual title and places both planning and consequences at the heart of the drama.
Three Timelines Drive the Heist
12 12 12 follows the 12 months spent planning a major robbery, the 12 hours needed to execute it, and the 12 days that follow. Therefore, viewers will see far more than the crime itself.
At the center of the story, Mackie plays a disgraced FBI agent. Meanwhile, Dornan portrays an American career criminal. The two characters enter a high-stakes cat-and-mouse battle that moves across Europe.
Their conflict focuses on an ambitious raid targeting a bank vault beneath the streets of Zurich. As a result, the European setting should give the thriller an international scale beyond a conventional robbery drama.
Apple TV Sets November Premiere
Apple TV will launch 12 12 12 globally on Friday, November 13, with its first two episodes. After that, the service will release a new episode every Friday through December 25, 2026.
The supporting cast includes Jack Kesy, Agathe Rousselle, Sallie Harmsen, Jose Garcia, and Kali Reis. Additionally, Dudi Appleton and Jim Keeble created the series and serve as executive producers.
Another Crime Drama for Apple
The project adds another high-profile crime story to Apple TV’s expanding drama slate. The service already features Your Friends and Neighbors, its crime drama starring Jon Hamm.
However, 12 12 12 stands apart through its tightly defined timeline. By showing the preparation, execution, and aftermath of one robbery, the series can explore how a single crime changes both sides of the chase.
With Mackie and Dornan leading the conflict, 12 12 12 arrives with a strong cast, an international setting, and a clear storytelling hook.
