Peacock has released the first trailer of the Simu Liu-fronted techno espionage thriller series The Copenhagen Test. The eight-episode show is set to premiere on December 27.
The Copenhagen Test has Liu playing an intelligence agent whose brain is "hacked" in the near future, leading to multiple complications.
According to the official logline, The Copenhagen Test “follows first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst Alexander Hale, 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.”
Jet Wilkinson has been confirmed to direct the first two episodes, aside from serving as one of the executive producers. Wilkinson has previously directed episodes on the shows Ballard (Prime Video), Bosch: Legacy (Prime Video), Before (Apple TV), The Old Man (Hulu), and Percy Jackson and the Olympians (Disney+), among others.
The series is created by Thomas Brandon, who also is involved as the executive producer, writer and co-showrunner alongside Jennifer Yale, who is handling the same duties. Brandon is known for his work on the TV series Legacies.
Liu, James Wan, Michael Clear, Rob Hackett, and Mark Winemaker are the other executive producers. Jet Wilkinson executive produces and directs the first two episodes. UCP is the studio.
Liu will be reprising his role as Marvel superhero Shang-Chi in the next entry in MCU's Avengers: Doomsday, directed by the Russo Brothers. He recently lent his voice on the superhero shows Invincible and Marvel Zombies.
