SIMU LIU/JAMES WAN
Added 2025-08-10 21:48:53 +0000 UTCDetails on James Wan's upcoming Peacook show starring Simu Liu and Melissa Barrera The Copenhagen Test: Set in a high-stakes world of espionage, it follows Alexander Hale, a Chinese-American ex-Special Forces sniper turned intelligence analyst at The Orphanage, a covert agency hidden within Virginia’s Essex Library. Haunted by a past mission in Guatemala where he defied orders to save a child over an American woman, Alexander grapples with loyalty, identity, and paranoia. He uncovers a mole compromising operations, only to learn he’s been hacked with nanites that broadcast his every sight and sound, making him an unwitting leak. Under the scrutiny of Director John Moira and the enigmatic St. George, Alexander joins “Claymore,” a staged operation to trap the enemy by controlling his environment. Aided by perceptive analyst Parker and tough agent Michelle—whom he recognizes from Guatemala—Alexander navigates a treacherous double life, balancing feigned normalcy with covert rebellion. As rival analyst Cobb and external forces, including his ex-fiancée Rachel and mentor Victor, complicate the conspiracy, Alexander’s fight to prove his loyalty and uncover the mastermind behind the hack—a mysterious figure with a cane—unfolds against a backdrop of betrayal, surveillance, and personal sacrifice.
