Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan stepped out in New York with the show's creators before Apple TV's Zurich vault heist drama lands on Friday, November 13.
A bank vault under Zurich, a disgraced FBI agent, a career criminal and a calendar built entirely out of the number 12: that’s the pitch for 12 12 12, and its two leads just showed up in New York to sell it in person. Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan posed together at the Waldorf Astoria on Tuesday, November 10, for the official photo call ahead of the series’ arrival on Apple TV.
They weren’t alone. Series creators, showrunners, writers and executive producers Dudi Appleton and Jim Keeble joined them, which made it a proper four-way team photo. The event images capture the full set of combinations: Mackie and Dornan together, each of them solo, and the whole group with the creators. Mackie and Dornan are also executive producers on the show they star in, so they’re on both sides of the camera here.
Three clocks, one robbery
The structure is the clever part. Every episode moves across three timelines: the 12 months of planning, the 12 hours of the heist itself and the 12 days that follow. The build-up, the job and the fallout all run side by side, so you’re never far from the vault door.
Mackie plays the disgraced FBI agent. Dornan plays the American career criminal. Their relationship is described as a zero-sum game of cat and mouse across Europe, with the daring, epic raid on a bank vault deep beneath the streets of Zurich at the centre of it all. It’s a classic heist-caper setup: the chase, the crew, the clock and a very expensive hole in the ground.
Both leads arrive with awards-season credentials. Mackie is an Emmy nominee and Dornan a Golden Globe nominee, so neither of them looked out of place on a Waldorf backdrop.
The crew behind the crew
The supporting cast is deep. Jack Kesy, Agathe Rousselle, Sallie Harmsen, José Garcia and Emmy nominee Kali Reis are among the names in the ensemble.
Behind the camera, Kari Skogland, an Emmy-nominated and BAFTA-winning filmmaker, directs multiple episodes, the pilot included, and is an executive producer too. Mackie executive produces under his Make It With Gravy banner, which is a name worth remembering. Samantha Corbin-Miller, David Knoller and Jason Spire are on board for Inspire Entertainment. The series is produced by Paramount Television Studios and Anonymous Content.
When to watch
The eight-episode limited series debuts globally on Friday, November 13, 2026, with the first two episodes landing together. After that, one episode arrives weekly until December 25, 2026. That puts the finale on Christmas Day, so anyone who likes a vault job with their turkey is in luck. The launch date is a Friday the 13th, which seems the right day for a heist show to make its move.
It joins a busy shelf. Apple TV launched on November 1, 2019, and says Apple Original films, documentaries and series have collected 924 wins and 3,904 award nominations so far. The platform points to Ted Lasso, The Studio, Widow’s Bay, Severance, Pluribus, CODA and F1 among its highlights. Apple describes Pluribus as its most-viewed drama, and F1 as the highest-grossing sports feature of all time.
Apple TV is available in over 170 countries and regions, at $14.99 per month with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers. New iPhone, iPad, Apple TV 4K or Mac buyers can get three months free for a limited time.
For now, the photo call gives us our first look at the partnership. Two actors who are also producers, two creators who are also writers and one very large vault will be ready for their close-up on November 13.
