Peacock's upcoming spy thriller, The Copenhagen Test Season 1, is all set to drop on December 27, 2025.

All eight episodes will be released simultaneously on the premiere day.

At the centre of the story is Alexander Hale, played by Simu Lu who acts as an intelligence analyst for a secret organisation called The Orphanage. But things take a wild turn when he realizes that the eyes and ears have been hacked, and now the hacker seems to be in total control. Alexander does not back down; he tries to play the hacker and acts normal to confuse them. But this isn't easy.

With constant pressure from higher authorities who question his loyalty, and the hacker still on track, can Alexander emerge from the situation unscathed? Or will he be tagged a traitor? In the trailer, we also see Alexander being involved with a woman named Michelle, whether she's an ally or foe remains a mystery.

Melissa Barrera as Michelle

Melissa Barrera takes on the role of Michelle in Peacock's sci-fi spy thriller. We do not know much about her character, but as per the trailer, it seems like the character might have been involved in some spy work (maybe she's one of the intelligence operatives who's tasked to keep an eye on Alexander). What's even more interesting is that we see her flirting with Alexander Hale, and in the next few scenes, she lands some intense punches too. Overall, it's an interesting character, and it would be exciting to see how her role unfolds.
