12 12 12 has a tidy structural gimmick with an actual job to do: the heist unfolds across 12 months of planning, 12 hours of execution and 12 days of escape. That gives this Apple TV crime drama a built-in clock, and Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan make a more persuasive reason to watch than another anonymous vault.

Watch the Trailer
The trailer sells the three-clock structure and the Mackie–Dornan face-off without explaining away the heist. That is the right amount of arithmetic for a thriller.
What Is It About?
A heist takes a year to plan, half a day to carry out and 12 days to get away with. Across those timelines, a disgraced FBI agent and a career criminal collide in a cat-and-mouse game across Europe. The hook is not just the job itself; the format lets the same crime keep changing shape as the clock moves.
How Many Seasons and Episodes?
Season 1 has eight episodes. Apple’s release announcement says the first two arrive on 13 November, followed by one episode each week through the 25 December finale.
Who Is in the Cast?
Anthony Mackie leads as Jack Strickland, with Jamie Dornan as Paul Galvin: the disgraced agent and career criminal give the pursuit its opposing engines. Jack Kesy plays Bobby Galvin, while Agathe Rousselle’s Severine and Sallie Harmsen’s Lena round out the named characters in this gallery. Kali Reis is also in the ensemble; the available TMDB cast record does not specify her character.
