'The Copenhagen Test' Cancelled By Peacock

No Season 2 for the sci-fi thriller.

April 15, 2026

It is being reported that Peacock has cancelled The Copenhagen Test after one season. The news comes three months after the sci-fi spy thriller released its 8-episode freshman run.

The series stars Simu Liu 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 shadowy agency and the mysterious hackers, he works to flush out who's responsible and prove where his allegiance lies.

Benno if we all thought like that then no show would get renewed because they would have too low of ratings. Then we'd have no TV. Sometimes you take a chance.
Unless all time and space ends every show ends on a cliffhanger. You'll never know what the characters did after the final frame.
Grow up and watch shows properly.

So this ended on a giant cliffhanger no doubt? The upside of waiting to watch a new show until I hear if it's got a second season I guess?

Where's George saying it needs to be on for 25 more seasons to make sure it has a "chance."

It deserved a 2nd season.
