Variety exclusively reports that Peacock has canceled “Copenhagen Test” after just one season.
The spy thriller series, helmed by director Simu Liu, dropped all eight episodes of its only season on December 27, 2025.
“Copenhangen Test” was generally well received by critics, with a 71% critic approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, it failed to gain a wide audience. The show was watched for 373 million minutes during the week from Dec. 29 to Jan. 29, according to Nielsen data. No. 4 is good enough for No. 10 on Nielsen’s Top 10 Streaming Originals chart. He failed to crack the top 10 in subsequent weeks.
The show’s logline reads: “Alexander Hale (Liu), a first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst, discovers that his brain has been hacked and the perpetrator has access to everything he sees and hears. Caught between a shadowy agency and an unknown group of hackers, he must maintain a 24/7 performance to uncover blame and prove his allegiance.”
In addition to Liu, the series also starred Melissa Barrera, Sinclair Daniel, Brian d’Arcy James, Mark O’Brien, and Kathleen Chalfant.
Thomas Brandon created the series and served as writer, executive producer, and co-showrunner. Jennifer Yale was also the writer, executive producer, and co-showrunner. In addition to starring, Liu will also serve as executive producer. James Wan, Michael Clear and Rob Hackett served as executive producers along with Mark Winemaker and Jett Wilkinson through Atomic Monster. Wilkinson directed the first two episodes of the series. The studio was UCP.
