On the same day that Dark Matter Episode 3 premiered on Apple TV+, the streaming platform is teaming up with an MCU actor for an intriguing new series. A new report from Variety revealed that Captain America actor Anthony Mackie's heist series, 12 12 12, with Fifty Shades of Grey actor Jamie Dornan has landed at Apple and is close to receiving a series order. It's been a big month for Mackie, who has been heavily involved with several interviews and promotional material for the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World, which will be his feature film debut as Captain America after taking over the mantle from Steve Rogers.

12 12 12 will follow a disgraced FBI agent (Mackie) and a career criminal (Dornan) who play a zero-sum game of cat and mouse across Europe. The goal of all their endeavors? To complete a dangerous bank heist on a vault below the streets of Zurich. The series 12 12 12 name comes from one of its plot details — it will take place across three timelines; 12 months before the heist, 12 hours before, and 12 days after. The series is written and created by Dudi Appleton (The Most Fertile Man in Ireland) and Jim Keeble (Wild Bill, Silent Witness), who will also executive produce.
