No Season 2 for 'Copenhagen Test' on Peacock

The eight-episode espionage thriller drew a 71% Rotten Tomatoes score but failed to build a broad audience, Nielsen data showed.

  • On Wednesday, Variety reported that Peacock has canceled The Copenhagen Test after just one season, ending the espionage thriller starring Simu Liu.
  • Created by Thomas Brandon and executive produced by James Wan, the series followed intelligence analyst Alexander Hale, whose brain was hacked by unknown forces giving perpetrators access to everything he sees and hears.
  • Despite holding a 71% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the show failed to find a wide audience, garnering 373 million minutes viewed for the week of Dec. 29-Jan. 4.
  • The cancellation leaves the cast—including Simu Liu, Melissa Barrera, Sinclair Daniel, Brian D Arcy James, Mark O Brien, and Kathleen Chalfant—without resolution for Alexander on a cliffhanger.
  • Season 1 concluded with Alexander discovering that his mentor, Victor, played by Saul Rubinek, had implanted five other individuals with Cassandra RU258 nanites, leaving multiple unresolved plot threads.
