Apple TV has released the trailer for “12 12 12,” an eight-episode heist drama starring Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan. Apple says the series premieres globally on Friday, November 13, 2026 with two episodes, followed by one episode weekly through December 25, 2026.
Apple shared the trailer and release plan on October 13, 2026. Both leads also executive produce the show, which Apple describes as “the highly anticipated drama.”
A heist told across three timelines
The title refers to how the story is built. According to Apple, each episode of “12 12 12” unfolds across three timelines of a single heist:

Mackie plays a disgraced FBI agent and Dornan plays an American career criminal. Apple says the two “play a zero-sum game of cat and mouse across Europe.”
The job at the center of it all is what Apple calls “the daring, epic raid on a bank vault deep beneath the streets of Zurich.”
That structure means viewers see the planning, the robbery and the fallout side by side in every episode, rather than in a straight line from setup to getaway. The poster’s tagline sums up the pitch: “Get in. Get out. Get away.”
