It looks like the mission is over.
On Wednesday, Variety reported that Peacock has canceled the espionage thriller series, The Copenhagen Test, starring Simu Liu, after one season.
The thriller series received mostly positive reviews, with a 71% approval on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite viewers watching 373 million minutes the week of December 29-January 4, earning a spot in Nielsen's top 10, it didn't find a broad audience and didn't stay in the top 10 in following weeks.
The series follows "first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst Alexander Hale (Liu) who realizes his brain has been hacked, giving the perpetrators access to everything he sees and hears. Caught between his shadowy agency and the unknown hackers, he must maintain a performance 24/7 to flush out who's responsible and prove where his allegiance lies."
Along with Liu, the series starred Melissa Barrera, Sinclair Daniel, Brian D'Arcy James, Mark O'Brien, and Kathleen Chalfant. Thomas Brandon created the series and served as writer, executive producer and co-showrunner.
I'm a little disappointed with the news because I really believed this series would get a second season. It seemed to have a strong following during its first couple of weeks, but it looks like it lost momentum sooner than I hoped.
Catch my review.
