Melissa Barrera is once again winning hearts with her strong performance in the new Peacock series The Copenhagen Test. The sci-fi spy thriller has just released its first season, and viewers are already talking about Barrera’s mysterious character, Michelle. In the show, Michelle is a smart and dangerous spy who plays mind games, making it hard for anyone to fully trust her. Barrera recently shared that this role was very different from anything she has done before and pushed her to grow as an actor.
Melissa Barrera Reflects On Copenhagen Test And Fan Support
In The Copenhagen Test, Michelle gets close to intelligence agent Alexander Hale, played by Simu Liu. Their relationship looks romantic on the surface, but both characters are hiding secrets. Michelle’s job is to watch Alexander closely and decide whether he is a threat. What makes the story exciting is that the audience never fully knows Michelle’s true past. Even Barrera herself did not know everything about her character while filming, which helped keep the performance natural and full of mystery.

Melissa Barrera explained that she usually likes to plan and control every detail as an actor. However, for this role, she had to let go and trust the process because the writers were still developing the story. This was both exciting and stressful for her. She said not knowing Michelle’s full backstory helped make the character more believable, as Michelle herself is always hiding parts of the truth.
The show also includes intense action scenes, which Barrera enjoyed a lot. Her favorite moment was the final fight scene with Simu Liu, which she described as having strong Mr. & Mrs. Smith vibes. She trained hard for the physical scenes and worked closely with the stunt team. Simu Liu praised her and called her a future action star, highlighting her dedication and strength on screen.

As fans hope for a second season of The Copenhagen Test, it is clear that Melissa Barrera’s career is moving forward with confidence and power.
