12 12 12 (or as we call it, ’36’) is coming to Apple TV on November 13, and to mark the release we had the pleasure in speaking to its leading stars, Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan, as well as showrunners and writers, Jim Keeble and Dudi Appleton.
Dornan explains why he sees career criminal Paul Galvin as a good man trying to get out, while Mackie reveals what FBI agent Jack Strickland hopes to get back by pursuing revenge. The pair also talk about building cat-and-mouse chemistry with so few scenes together, reuniting after Synchronic and why Mackie wanted Dornan for the role.
Meanwhile, Keeble and Appleton explain how they made the planning, the robbery and the pursuit fit together across three timelines, why a key encounter between Mackie’s Jack and Dornan’s Paul moved in the edit, and what makes the two rivals need each other. You can watch both interviews in their entirety below.

Plot
Each episode “12 12 12” unfolds across three timelines of a heist: the 12 months of planning, the 12 hours of the heist, and the 12 days following the heist. The series follows a disgraced FBI agent (Mackie) and an American career criminal (Dornan) who play a zero-sum game of cat and mouse across Europe. At the center of it all is the daring, epic raid on a bank vault deep beneath the streets of Zurich.
12 12 12 makes its global debut on Friday, November 13 on Apple TV with the first two episodes, followed by one new episode every Friday through December 25, 2026.
