The first 2 episodes of 12 12 12 are now streaming on Apple TV. The 8-episode limited series stars Anthony Mackie as a disgraced FBI agent and Jamie Dornan as an American career criminal, and it is built around a raid on a bank vault deep beneath the streets of Zurich. Apple TV marked the premiere yesterday morning with a short clip from the series. Check out the official post down below:
The clip in the post opens on the start of the job, with the line "Twelve hours starts now," and closes on "See you on the other side."
What 12 12 12 Is About
The title refers to the 3 timelines that each episode moves between: the 12 months of planning, the 12 hours of the heist itself and the 12 days after it. Apple describes the story as a zero-sum game of cat and mouse across Europe between Mackie's FBI agent and Dornan's thief, with the Zurich vault job at the center of all 3 timelines.
The ensemble cast also includes Jack Kesy, Agathe Rousselle, Sallie Harmsen, José Garcia and Kali Reis. Rousselle starred in Julia Ducournau's Palme d'Or winner Titane, and Reis earned an Emmy nomination for HBO's True Detective: Night Country. Kesy played the lead in Hellboy: The Crooked Man, and Harmsen appeared in Blade Runner 2049.
