US EditionSimu Liu's mind gets hacked in first trailer for Peacock's 'Copenhagen Test'
Simu Liu stars as an intelligence analyst whose hacked brain is exploited by his agency to track intruders while he tries to prove his loyalty in an eight-episode thriller.
- On Dec. 27, Peacock will debut The Copenhagen Test, an eight-episode spy thriller starring Liu as Alexander Hale, whose brain is hacked, according to the trailer.

- Peacock released a full trailer Monday that significantly expands on an October teaser, and UPI reported Dec. 8 that it shows Simu Liu’s character learning his brain was hacked.
