The Copenhagen Test is an upcoming Peacock original thriller series starring Simu Liu in the lead. It is going to be released on Peacock on December 27, 2025, and the first trailer of the show has been released. While we only get twenty seconds of what's coming, one can guess that The Copenhagen Test has something to do with a professional who's getting framed for doing something he did not. Simu Liu stars as that professional, Alexander Hale, an Intelligence Analyst, whose brain has been hacked.
The trailer opens with,
''Meet our mole, Alexander Hale.''
This already tells us that the agency Alexander works for has concluded that he is the mole. The rest of the trailer shows how Alexander denies that accusation and fights to prove himself innocent. The Copenhagen Test, releasing on December 27, 2025, will tell us who the hackers are and why they are ruining lives.
About The Copenhagen Test first trailer starring Simu Liu and more
No one likes to be framed, especially when they are framed for committing national crimes. In the first The Copenhagen Test trailer, Alexander Hale, like any other upright citizen of the country, says,
''I would never knowingly betray my own country.''
The rest of the teaser trailer gives us a brief look at what the show will entail. What we can tell from the teaser trailer is that the people who have hacked Alexander's brain have done it in such a way that proving his innocence becomes almost as dangerous as dying. While the show is set in the near future, it shows us the potential dangers of technological innovation. Everything Alexander sees/hears can be accessed by these hackers, and thus, at the end of the trailer, we can see the point he has reached a breaking point, as he records himself saying,
''I don't know who I can trust anymore.''
The synopsis of the show, according to the teaser trailer's synopsis, states,
This espionage thriller series follows first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst Alexander Hale (Simu Liu) who realizes his brain has been hacked, giving the perpetrators access to everything he sees and hears.
