Peacock to debut The Copenhagen Test on Dec 27, 2025

Peacock will debut The Copenhagen Test on December 27, 2025, the streamer announced as it released a teaser trailer and first images for the near‑future espionage thriller at New York Comic Con. The eight‑episode structure was not confirmed across materials, but the teaser establishes the central premise: Simu Liu stars as Alexander Hale, a first‑generation Chinese American intelligence analyst whose brain has been hacked, giving unknown perpetrators access to everything he sees and hears.

The trailer frames Hale’s predicament as one of divided loyalty and constant surveillance. "I would never knowingly betray my own country," Hale says in the teaser, moments before a colleague accuses him of being a mole. Later he is warned, "If it is suspected that you’re compromised, you’re dead," and he concludes, "I don’t know who I can trust anymore." Visuals released alongside the trailer show Hale pursued through a train aisle, firing a weapon while chased by armed figures, and in close, physical encounters with Melissa Barrera’s character, Michelle, who is described in promotional materials as mysterious and potentially deceptive.
