Peacock Cancels 'The Copenhagen Test' After One Season

The decision reflects weak sustained viewing despite solid reviews.

Overview

  • Variety reported Wednesday that Peacock ended the espionage drama after its first season, with multiple outlets confirming the cancellation soon after.
  • The eight-episode season dropped December 27, 2025, and Nielsen logged 373 million minutes in its first full week for a No. 10 finish before the show fell off the chart in later weeks.
  • Critics were generally positive with a 71% score on Rotten Tomatoes, yet reports point to low ongoing viewership as the reason the series was not renewed.
  • The show reached the UK on Channel 4 on April 8, 2026, eight days before news of the cancellation surfaced.
  • Stars Simu Liu and Melissa Barrera posted thanks to cast and crew on social media after the announcement, offering a gracious sendoff to fans.
