Peacock Axes Copenhagen Test After One Season

Peacock canceled the espionage thriller The Copenhagen Test after its one-season run, with all eight episodes released on Dec. 27, 2025. Despite positive critics’ reception (71% on Rotten Tomatoes), it failed to grab a broad audience, posting 373 million minutes viewed in its debut week but not sustaining momentum on Nielsen’s streaming originals list in the following weeks. The series starred Simu Liu and was produced by UCP, created by Thomas Brandon, with Jennifer Yale as writer/executive producer; it followed a first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst whose mind has been hacked as he navigates loyalties between his agency and unknown hackers.
