Simu Liu thrilled fans at New York Comic Con on Sunday with a first look at The Copenhagen Test, the upcoming espionage thriller premiering December 27 on Peacock. As both the lead and an executive producer, Simu took the stage to unveil a teaser that promises a stylish, cerebral ride—one where the ultimate battleground isn’t a city or a country, but the human mind.
In The Copenhagen Test, Simu stars as Alexander Hale, a first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst who discovers that his brain has been hacked, giving the perpetrators access to everything he sees and hears. Caught between his own shadowy agency and an unknown enemy, Alexander is forced to live a 24/7 performance—pretending everything is normal while trying to uncover who’s behind the breach and where his loyalty truly lies.
As the teaser unfolds in fractured visuals and surveillance-like imagery, Simu delivers a chilling line that anchors the show’s paranoia:
I don’t know who I can trust anymore.”
It’s a fitting hook for a story built on deception, control, and the cost of truth in a world where even your thoughts aren’t private.
The first-look footage and images teased at NYCC showcase a moody, high-contrast aesthetic—a sleek blend of espionage and psychological tension that feels as cinematic as it is intimate. The series comes from co-showrunners and executive producers Thomas Brandon and Jennifer Yale, with Simu Liu, James Wan, Michael Clear, Rob Hackett, Mark Winemaker, and Jet Wilkinson also serving as executive producers. The ensemble cast includes Melissa Barrera, Sinclair Daniel, Brian D’Arcy James, Mark O’Brien, and Kathleen Chalfant.
With its pulse-pounding concept and cinematic flair, The Copenhagen Test invites audiences to question what it means to be in control—and what happens when the only thing you can’t trust is your own mind.
