12 12 12 Series Release Date: Nov 13 on Apple TV, Cast and Schedule

Quick answer: The 12 12 12 series premieres on Apple TV on Friday, November 13, 2026 with two episodes. One new episode follows every Friday, and the eight-episode season ends on Friday, December 25. Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan star.

Apple TV’s newest thriller is out today. 12 12 12 is a European heist story that jumps between a year of planning, the twelve hours of the job and the twelve days afterwards, and it stars Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan. Here is the 12 12 12 series release date, the full weekly schedule, who is in it and where to watch it.

What is the 12 12 12 series release date?

The 12 12 12 series release date is Friday, November 13, 2026, exclusively on Apple TV. Apple is releasing the first two episodes on premiere day. TVLine and Time Out both report that the season has eight episodes and that one more arrives each Friday through December 25.

That is a weekly rollout, not a binge release, so the story will unfold over six weeks after the double premiere. Counting forward from the premiere, the Friday dates below follow from that schedule.

The sources give the start, the weekly Friday pattern and the December 25 end date. The individual dates in the table are counted from those, and the finale lands on Christmas Day. Apple has not said at what time of day episodes appear, so check the app on release day.

What is 12 12 12 about?

According to 9to5Mac and Time Out, 12 12 12 is a heist thriller built around a raid on a bank vault beneath Zurich. A disgraced FBI agent and an American career criminal play what is described as a zero-sum game of cat and mouse across Europe.

The title is also the structure. The story moves across three timelines: 12 months of planning, the 12-hour heist itself, and the 12 days after, when the crew tries to avoid getting caught. That means viewers see the plan, the job and the fallout side by side rather than in a straight line.

Who is in the cast of 12 12 12?

The two leads are:

• Anthony Mackie as the disgraced FBI agent
• Jamie Dornan as the American career criminal

TVLine and Time Out also list Jack Kesy, Agathe Rousselle, Sallie Harmsen, José Garcia and Kali Reis in the cast, among others. The characters those other actors play are not listed in the sources we checked, so we are not guessing them here.

Who created 12 12 12?

TVLine and Time Out credit Dudi Appleton and Jim Keeble as the creators, and both also serve as executive producers. Apple has not, in the sources we checked, named a separate production company, so we leave that out until it is confirmed.

Is there a trailer for 12 12 12?

Yes. Apple released the official trailer on October 13, 2026, and you can watch it at the top of this article. It sets up the three-timeline format and the Zurich vault job.

Where can you watch 12 12 12?

12 12 12 is an Apple TV original, so it streams only on Apple TV. It is not on Netflix, Prime Video or any other service. As with every Apple original, the episodes arrive on the Apple TV app and website on the dates above.

How many episodes does 12 12 12 have?

The season has eight episodes. Two come on November 13 and the other six arrive weekly from November 20 to December 25. We have not found a second season announced in the sources we checked, so treat this as a complete eight-part run for now. Details are as of November 13, 2026. The whole story will not be available until the finale on December 25.

Is 12 12 12 worth watching if you like heist and thriller shows?

We have not watched it, and we do not write reviews we have not earned. What the facts do show is a clear hook: a fixed set of three timelines, a single target in Zurich and two well-known leads. If a heist that is told out of order appeals to you, the first two episodes will show you fast whether the format works for you.

If you are planning your week, remember that it shares Fridays with other big streaming releases. For everything else landing this month, see our November 2026 movies and TV release calendar. Other recent premieres we have covered include The Good Daughter on Peacock, Trinity on Netflix and another Apple TV title, Nocturne. Looking further ahead, The Pitt Season 3 is set for January 2027.

What should you know before you start?

• It is a weekly show, so do not expect the whole story on day one.
• The cast list is only partial. More names may be confirmed as episodes air.
• Episode titles and runtimes have not been confirmed in the sources we used, so we do not list them.

We will update this page if Apple confirms a season two, episode titles or any change to the weekly schedule.
