Peacock has unveiled the official trailer for its upcoming espionage sci-fi thriller series, The Copenhagen Test, set to stream on December 27, 2025. The series promises a tense, mind-bending ride reminiscent of Source Code, as it explores the terrifying consequences of a hacked mind and high-stakes intelligence warfare.
The story follows first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst Alexander Hale, played by Simu Liu, who discovers that his brain has been compromised—broadcasting his every sight and sound to unknown hackers. Trapped between his shadowy agency and these mysterious perpetrators, Alexander must act normal around colleagues and loved ones while strategically exposing the culprits. The series combines psychological tension with cutting-edge sci-fi concepts, referencing the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics, which suggests particles exist in superpositions until observed—a fitting metaphor for Hale’s uncertain reality.
The ensemble cast includes Melissa Barrera, Sinclair Daniel, Brian d’Arcy James, Mark O’Brien, Kathleen Chalfant, Saul Rubinek, and Hannah Cruz, adding depth and intensity to this high-octane thriller. With complex character dynamics, the show promises a layered exploration of loyalty, perception, and identity under pressure.
Created and written by Thomas Brandon, The Copenhagen Test features a writing team including Adam Benic, Jamie Chan, Marilyn Fu, Hannah Rosner, and Brandon himself. Directorial duties are split among Nima Nourizadeh, Kevin Tancharoen, and Jet Wilkinson, while Brandon and Jennifer Yale serve as showrunners, ensuring a tightly-woven, suspenseful narrative from start to finish.
With its release date fast approaching, The Copenhagen Test positions itself as one of Peacock’s most thrilling December premieres. Fans of high-concept espionage, mind-bending sci-fi, and pulse-pounding suspense are in for a cerebral, edge-of-your-seat experience that blends technology, identity, and survival in an increasingly dangerous world.
