Peacock Subscribers Disappointed by Show’s Cancellation After One Season
Fans of “The Copenhagen Test” were left disappointed to hear that the spy series would not be returning for a second season. The show, which premiered on Peacock last December and starred Simu Liu and Melissa Barrera, received positive reviews from critics and fans alike. Despite earning a 71% critic score and an 80% fan score on Rotten Tomatoes, the show did not capture a large audience.
After the news of the cancellation, many fans took to social media to express their disappointment. One fan described the show as “fresh and entertaining,” while another compared it to the Jason Bourne franchise, calling it a “pretty good show.” Another fan speculated that if the show had been marketed as a sci-fi action series, it may have attracted a larger audience, but ultimately found solace in the fact that the main plot was resolved in the first season.
The official synopsis of the show follows Liu’s character, Alexander Hale, a first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst who discovers that his brain has been hacked, granting access to his every sight and sound. Caught between his agency and the hackers, he must maintain a facade 24/7 to uncover the truth.
Liu, known for his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, praised his co-star Barrera and even suggested that she would make a great Wonder Woman. He commended her dedication to her role and stunt work, expressing pride in her accomplishments on the show.
Despite the disappointment from fans, “The Copenhagen Test” has officially been canceled after just one season, leaving viewers wishing for more of the thrilling spy drama.
