Peacock has revealed that their upcoming thriller series, The Copenhagen Test, will premiere on December 27. The Simu Liu and Melissa Barrera-led project also dropped first-look images (below) and a teaser trailer (above).
From creator Thomas Brandon and executive producer James Wan, The Copenhagen Test 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.
Barrera plays Michelle, a deceptive character who will keep everyone guessing. The series also stars Sinclair Daniel as Parker, an intelligence officer who gets swept up into a new world she must figure out quickly; Brian D’Arcy James as John Moira, a boss and mentor who is not afraid to make tough decisions; Mark O’Brien as Cobb, an ambitious intelligence agent; and Kathleen Chalfant as St. George, a quiet leader focused on the long game.
The teaser is brief but impactful.
“I would never knowingly betray my own country,” Liu says in the video as mole Alexander Hale.
Hale will be facing extreme danger at every corner. He is warned, “If it’s suspected that you’re compromised, you’re dead.”
With the pressure high, things get pretty lonely when you don’t know who you can trust. Getting close to Michelle has the potential to be steamy, but how can you be sure you’re not working with the enemy?
Brandon serves as creator, writer and executive producer alongside co-showrunner and EP Jennifer Yale. Wan, Michael Clear, and Rob Hackett are executive producers for Atomic Monster, with Liu also EP’ing. Mark Winemaker and Jet Wilkinson will also executive produce, with Wilkinson attached to direct the first two episodes. UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio.
Additional first-look photos can be found below.
