12 12 12 Apple TV Release Date and Full Episode Schedule
The 12 12 12 Apple TV premiere is Friday, November 13, 2026. The first two episodes arrive together, with one new episode each Friday until the December 25 finale. Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan lead the eight-part heist drama, which follows a bank raid in Zurich across three different stretches of time.
Apple confirmed the global rollout in its November 10 premiere announcement. In India, use the local Apple TV listing to check availability. The announcement gives the date. Check the app for the local unlock time if you’re planning to watch as soon as it drops.
12 12 12 Apple TV episode schedule
Apple has announced a two-episode debut and weekly Fridays after that. The following dates follow that schedule.
- November 13: Episodes 1 and 2
- November 20: Episode 3
- November 27: Episode 4
- December 4: Episode 5
- December 11: Episode 6
- December 18: Episode 7
- December 25: Episode 8, the finale
If you want a full-season watch, December 25 is the date to save. If you watch weekly, the first Friday is the only scheduled double bill. Set your calendar by the episode number if you are coordinating with someone in another country, since the hour it appears on the app may differ by location.
What the three twelves mean
The title refers to the 12 months spent planning the heist, the 12 hours in which it happens and the 12 days afterward. According to Apple’s series synopsis, each episode moves through all three timelines. At their centre is a vault deep beneath Zurich and a pursuit across Europe between a disgraced FBI agent, played by Mackie, and a career criminal, played by Dornan.
That structure gives the show three kinds of suspense. A scene set months before the raid can establish what the crew expects to happen. The hours of the heist can test those expectations under pressure. The days after the robbery can reveal which decisions still matter once the vault is behind them. If a cut leaves you wondering where you are, the quickest clue is whether the characters are preparing for the robbery, carrying it out or dealing with its consequences.
The series is billed as a limited drama. The eight-episode schedule is the one Apple has announced for this story. For a quick sense of its tone, the official Apple TV press page includes a trailer and lists the US rating as TV-MA. Viewers deciding whether to watch with younger family members can check the rating on their local app.
How to find the right title in Apple TV
Search for the three numbers with spaces or open the India listing above directly. The show’s title is easy to mistake for a date when you type it into a general search engine. Look for both lead actors on the listing to confirm you’re on the right page. The Apple TV app also lists titles from other providers, so check the viewing option on the show’s own page. If you’re saving it for later, add the series to your watchlist rather than setting eight separate reminders.
Who is behind the heist drama?
Dudi Appleton and Jim Keeble created the series and are also its showrunners. Kari Skogland directs multiple episodes, including the pilot. Mackie and Dornan also serve as executive producers. The ensemble includes Jack Kesy, Agathe Rousselle, Sallie Harmsen, José Garcia and Kali Reis. Apple identifies Paramount Television Studios and Anonymous Content as the producers.
Friday is a busy date on the service. If you’re choosing what to watch, Bootpoot’s Being Heumann release guide covers the feature film arriving the same day. The heist drama is the weekly option, with its two-episode opening on November 13 and its last instalment on Christmas Day.
