12 12 12 release date: Nov 13 on Apple TV, full schedule

12 12 12 premieres on Friday, November 13, 2026, only on Apple TV. The first two episodes arrive together, and one new episode follows every Friday until the finale on December 25.

12 12 12 release date and episode schedule

Apple describes the launch as global, so the date is the same Friday wherever you watch. The season has eight episodes. Apple's press releases give the first and last dates and say episodes arrive weekly in between, which works out like this:

Apple has not published episode titles or a clock time for the drops. If the premiere is not in your app first thing on Friday, look again later in the day.

One small thing to know: the finale lands on Christmas Day, so the show runs through the whole holiday season.

Where to watch 12 12 12

The series is an Apple Original and streams only on Apple TV, so you need a subscription. Apple's press release lists the US price as $14.99 a month, with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers. You can watch in the Apple TV app on phones, smart TVs, streaming sticks and game consoles, or in a browser at tv.apple.com.

A tip if you only want this one show: because the finale is on December 25, subscribing for a single month from late November covers the whole season.

What 12 12 12 is about

It is a heist thriller with an unusual clock. According to Apple, every episode moves between three timelines of the same robbery:

• 12 months of planning before it
• 12 hours of the heist itself
• 12 days of fallout afterwards

The target is a bank vault under the streets of Zurich. On one side is a disgraced FBI agent, played by Anthony Mackie. On the other is an American career criminal, played by Jamie Dornan. Apple calls their story a cat-and-mouse game that plays out across Europe.

Because all three timelines run in every episode, you will see the plan, the job and the consequences side by side from the first hour. That is the hook: the question is less "do they pull it off" and more "how did it end up like this".

12 12 12 cast and creators

Apple has only described the two lead characters so far, and has not released character names for the rest of the ensemble.

The series was created by Dudi Appleton and Jim Keeble, who are also the showrunners and writers. Kari Skogland directs several episodes, including the first, and is an executive producer. It is made by Paramount Television Studios and Anonymous Content.

Is 12 12 12 a limited series?

Yes, for now. Apple's premiere announcement on November 10 calls it an eight-episode limited series, which normally means one complete story. Apple has not said anything about a second season.
