Anthony Mackie is chasing a thief across Europe, starting Friday. 12 12 12, the Apple TV heist thriller starring and executive produced by Mackie and Jamie Dornan, premieres globally on Friday, Nov. 13, with its first two episodes, The Playlist reported. New episodes arrive every Friday through Dec. 25.
Mackie plays a disgraced FBI agent and Dornan an American career criminal locked in what Apple describes as a zero-sum game of cat and mouse across Europe. The story centers on an ambitious bank vault robbery beneath the streets of Zurich.
Twelve months, 12 hours, 12 days
The title explains the structure. The eight-episode series unfolds across three timelines: the 12 months of planning before the heist, the 12 hours of the job itself and the 12 days after it. The teaser ends with Mackie's character laying out the stakes: a thief who isn't caught within 12 days of a heist isn't caught at all.
Kari Skogland, director of Marvel's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, directs the opening episodes, titled "All for a F**king Betamax, Dad" and "I Want My Halo Back." Jim Keeble and Dudi Appleton wrote them.
The series reunites Mackie and Dornan after the 2019 sci-fi indie Synchronic. Mackie has said he suggested Dornan for the role, and the two share executive producer credits on the series.
For Mackie, it is a lead role in a streaming thriller he also executive produces, with a weekly run that ends on Christmas Day. It is one of the series on Cup of Soul's holiday watch list.
