Simu Liu<\/strong><\/a> and Melissa Barrera<\/strong>\u2018s The Copenhagen Test<\/em> took viewers on a wild ride that ended with several shocking cliffhangers and a surprising ending \u2014 but could there be a season 2?<\/p>\n

In the Peacock series, which premiered on Saturday, December 27, Alexander (Liu) is introduced as an intelligence agent<\/a> who found out his mind was hacked \u2014 causing outsiders to see what he sees and hears. Alexander must piece together who hacked him while trying to prove his allegiance to his own agency.<\/p>\n

The finale concluded with Alexander creating a plan to take down the enemy. He realized that his former fianc\u00e9e, Rachel (Hannah Cruz<\/strong>), gave him the pills that hacked his senses while his friend Victor (Saul Rubinek<\/strong>) engineered the experiment.<\/p>\n

Victor ordered the Copenhagen Test<\/a> but revealed it was part of a larger experiment to prove whether a human could remain loyal and could function amid a fabricated reality. Alexander saw other ongoing live broadcasts \u2014 including one that involved Michelle (Barrera) a.k.a a woman Alexander thought he met by chance but she was embedded in his life on purpose as a spy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWherever the show winds up going. It is designed to be ongoing,\u201d creator Thomas Brandon<\/strong> exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em>. \u201cWe\u2019re going to follow two things. Where is the technology going? How does it grow? How does it adapt? How does it evolve? How does that continue to teach us something about this moment?\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cWe also know we\u2019re telling the story of a child of immigrants. We\u2019re telling a story about a first-generation American who has a complicated relationship to loyalty and allegiance and how far is he willing to go to do the right thing. Those are the two tracks we know we\u2019re going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liu, who was born in China before moving to Canada, and Barrera, who moved to United States<\/a> from Mexico, reflected on the way the show was told through the lens of an immigrant.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust that sense of self is important. It\u2019s really important for us as individuals to realize all the ways that we\u2019re manipulated and conditioned by things and systems around us,\u201d Liu told Us<\/em>. \u201cParticularly in our upbringing, we\u2019re taught certain things [like], \u2018This country is good and that country is bad. These are the good guys and those are bad guys.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Liu discussed his own<\/a> perspective on the concept, adding, \u201cYou grow up and you realize that history and all things are just so much more nuanced than that. So this idea of giving blind faith to a government \u2014 first of all no government is perfect. Blind faith to a government or to a country [is] weighing that against your own personal moral compass. I just think to have a strong sense of self and to know where you stand and where your sense of right and wrong is. That\u2019s just the most important thing to stand up for what that is and to fight for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
