New Sci-Fi Spy Thriller 'The Copenhagen Test' Brings Brain-Hacking Action to Peacock
A year before Simu Liu is set to reprise his role as Shang Chi in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, he'll be leading the charge in a new sci-fi spy series called The Copenhagen Test. Premiering on December 27th exclusively on Peacock, this show promises an electrifying premise and two charismatic leads that will keep viewers hooked.
The brainchild of James Wan's Atomic Monster production company, along with Thomas Brandon and Jennifer Yale as showrunners, The Copenhagen Test tells the story of Simu Liu's character, an intelligence officer who unwittingly becomes a spy after his brain is hacked. This hacking allows someone to surveil and eavesdrop on everything he does – a situation that's both fascinating and frightening.
Liu will star alongside Melissa Barrera, known for her chilling performances in Scream and Insidious: The Red Door, as well as Sinclair Daniel, Brian d’Arcy James, and Mark O’Brien. With its gripping plot reminiscent of Minority Report and Jason Bourne, fans are excited to dive into this world of espionage.
However, with Peacock facing stiff competition from other streaming platforms, the show will have a daunting task in securing viewership. The network has struggled to retain audiences for several recent shows, including Poker Face, Twisted Metal, and Mrs. Davis, which unfortunately made it through only one season.
Despite these challenges, The Copenhagen Test boasts an impressive cast and crew, making it a compelling watch that warrants attention. With its unique premise and talented production team behind it, the show may just have what it takes to succeed in the highly competitive world of television streaming.
So mark your calendars for December 27th and be prepared for a thrilling ride into the world of brain-hacking espionage.

! I mean, Simu Liu is gonna kill it as the lead character, and Melissa Barrera's acting chops are insane 
. The show's premise is wild and twisted - who wouldn't want to watch a brain-hacking espionage series? 
It's like Minority Report meets Jason Bourne, and that's a combo that's gonna draw people in big time. And let's be real, the cast is on point with Sinclair Daniel, Brian d’Arcy James, and Mark O’Brien 
. Peacock might be facing some competition from other streaming platforms, but I think this show has what it takes to stand out and hook viewers in no time 
. It's gonna be a wild ride, so mark your calendars for Dec 27th!
... they've been struggling to keep their shows going, and with so much competition from other platforms like netflix and amazon prime, it's gonna be tough for "the copenhagen test" to stand out. but hey, simu liu is a great lead, and melissa barrera is super talented too 
so fingers crossed they can make it work... maybe peacock will surprise us all 
. And don't even get me started on the plot - "whoa, my brain's being hacked and now I'm a spy"... sounds like something out of a cyberpunk novel 
. But hey, Simu Liu and Melissa Barrera are pretty cool, so that might just carry this show through 
.
. The show's got that Minority Report vibe going on, which sounds SO intriguing! 
- they need to get their act together, fam! 
But fingers crossed for this one, and I'll def be tuning in at the end of Dec 
. Might just become my new fave spy show... 
just read that simu liu is starring in it & his character gets hacked which sounds hella trippy 
... I mean, it's got all the ingredients: sci-fi, spy thriller, big-name stars... but have you seen their lineup lately? It's like they're just throwing a bunch of shows at the wall and hoping something sticks 
. And don't even get me started on the competition – Netflix is still king when it comes to original content 
. Still, I gotta admit, Simu Liu looks pretty compelling in this new role 
... fingers crossed it'll be enough to carry the show through the crowded streaming landscape
