Seven years after navigating a reality-bending designer drug in “Synchronic,” Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan are reuniting for another race against the clock—this time with a few clocks running at once.
The pair lead Apple TV’s “12 12 12,” an eight-episode heist thriller unfolding across the 12 months spent planning an audacious Zurich bank robbery, the 12 hours of its execution, and the 12 increasingly dangerous days that follow.

Each episode moves between the 12 months spent planning the crime, the 12 hours during which it unfolds, and the turbulent 12 days that follow. At the center of the story is an audacious raid on a bank vault buried beneath the streets of Zurich.
Mackie plays a disgraced FBI agent pursuing Dornan’s American career criminal across Europe, with the two locked in what Apple describes as a “zero-sum game of cat and mouse.” The teaser introduces their increasingly dangerous pursuit while emphasizing the show’s three-part temporal structure: plan the job, execute it, and survive the consequences.
The series reunites Mackie and Dornan after their 2019 sci-fi indie “Synchronic” (read our review), directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, who have since become Marvel go-to filmmakers through “Moon Knight,” “Loki,” and “Daredevil: Born Again.” The supporting ensemble includes Jack Kesy, Agathe Rousselle, Sallie Harmsen, José Garcia, and Kali Reis.
“12 12 12” was created by Dudi Appleton and Jim Keeble, who also serve as executive producers. Emmy-nominated, BAFTA-winning filmmaker Kari Skogland—whose television credits include “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” and “The Loudest Voice”—directs multiple episodes, including the pilot, and executive produces.
Mackie and Dornan also executive produce, with Mackie working through his Make It With Gravy production banner alongside Samantha Corbin-Miller. David Knoller and Jason Spire of Inspire Entertainment serve as additional executive producers. Paramount Television Studios and Anonymous Content produce the series.
“12 12 12” premieres globally on Apple TV on November 13 with its first two episodes. New installments will arrive every Friday through December 25. Watch the teaser below.
