Simu Liu and Melissa Barrera play dangerous spy games in the teaser trailer for Peacock’s upcoming espionage thriller The Copenhagen Test, which dropped on Sunday.
Liu plays first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst Alexander Hale, who discovers his brain has been hacked. That allows access to everything he sees and hears, which makes Hale an open book to his hidden puppet masters.

“I don’t know who I can trust anymore,” Hale says at one point as he’s caught between his shadowy agency and unseen hackers. Enter Barrera as Michelle, a mysterious siren who trades both punches and steamy kisses with Hale, judging by the series’ first-look footage, as he desperately tries to uncover the identity of his hackers.
Meanwhile Hale must continue to act normal to flush out who’s responsible for the hacking and prove where his allegiance lies. “If they suspect you’re compromised, you’re dead,” Hale is warned as he goes down a rabbit hole in the sci-fi spy thriller.
The Copenhagen Test is set to premiere Dec. 27 on Peacock, and the release of the teaser coincides with co-star Liu touting the eight-parter during a New York Comic Con panel. The series, set five minutes in the future, also stars Sinclair Daniel, Brian D’Arcy James, Mark O’Brien and Kathleen Chalfant.
The Copenhagen Test was created by Thomas Brandon, who also showruns, writes and executive produces the series alongside Jennifer Yale. Also sharing executive producer credits are James Wan, Liu, Michael Clear, Rob Hackett, Mark Winemaker and Jet Wilkinson.
