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: | Episode | Release date | |---|---| | 1 and 2 | Friday, November 13, 2026 | | 3 | Friday, November 20 | | 4 | Friday, November 27 | | 5 | Friday, December 4 | | 6 | Friday, December 11 | | 7 | Friday, December 18 | | 8 (finale) | Friday, December 25 | 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.

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 | Who | Role | |---|---| | Anthony Mackie | A disgraced FBI agent (also executive producer) | | Jamie Dornan | An American career criminal (also executive producer) | | Jack Kesy | Ensemble cast | | Agathe Rousselle | Ensemble cast | | Sallie Harmsen | Ensemble cast | | José Garcia | Ensemble cast | | Kali Reis | Ensemble cast | Apple has only described the two lead characters so far, and has not released character names for the rest of the ensemble.

It is made by Paramount Television Studios and Anonymous Content. ## Is 12 12 12 a limited series? Yes, for now.
