Simu Liu makes promise to The Copenhagen Test cast
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Simu Liu shared, "On behalf of our entire cast i would like to apologize for the fact that our show bears no relation to the actual, amazing city of copenhagen. if renewed for a season two, i will treat our entire cast to a danish vacation so we can properly experience our namesake." The actor also added a gif of the actual city in his post.
While The Copenhagen Test is a spy series, it does not take place in Denmark.
Warning: Spoiler alert! It refers to a test scenario in which Simu's character, Alexander Halem must go through to prove his loyalty to the spy organisation, The Orphanage, that he works for. The show is set in the near future, where Alexander is an intelligence analyst whose mind is hacked and must figure out how to survive without being labeled a traitor.

And as you watch the rest of the episodes and even the last episode again, you'll get all of the answers to the questions that you'll be asking throughout the season. But then we will open up the worlds and sort of give you more than what you've bargained for." All episodes of
The Copenhagen Test are now streaming online. Simu Liu will next be seen in the Marvel superhero film
