Peacock has released a full trailer for its upcoming thriller The Copenhagen Test, starring Simu Liu as a man with a problem that is very much all in his head.
As in, Liu’s character has literally had his brain hacked, and since he works as a government intelligence analyst, he has a big problem. The series follows him as he attempts to both clear his name at the agency and run an operation to track down the people responsible for invading his mind. Watch the trailer below.
The trailer significantly expands on a brief teaser Peacock released in October, which didn’t delve into the show’s premise. The show’s logline reads in full, “This espionage thriller series follows first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst Alexander Hale (Liu) who realizes his brain has been hacked, giving the perpetrators access to everything he sees and hears. Caught between his shadowy agency and the unknown hackers, he must maintain a performance 24/7 to flush out who’s responsible and prove where his allegiance lies.”
Melissa Barrera also stars as an agent assigned to watch Alexander’s moves. The cast also includes Sinclair Daniel, Brian d’Arcy James, Mark O’Brien and Kathleen Chalfant.
Universal Studio Group’s UCP produces The Copenhagen Test. Thomas Brandon (Legacies) created the series and serves as co-showrunner with Jennifer Yale (Outlander, See). They executive produce with James Wan, Michael Clear and Rob Hackett of Atomic Monster, Mark Winemaker and Jet Wilkinson, who directed the first two episodes.
The full eight-episode season premieres Dec. 27 on Peacock.
