From trophy to a tyrant from outcast to an outlaw. From Loner to a leader and a mayor to mutineer… how will The Power transform you?

Prime Video has debuted the “electrifying” official trailer for the global thriller The Power — an emotionally driven series based on British author Naomi Alderman’s award-winning novel.

Premiering on Prime on March 31 with the first three episodes and then dropping weekly each Friday, the series features a cast of remarkable characters from London to Seattle, Nigeria to Eastern Europe, as the Power evolves from a tingle in teenagers’ collarbones to a complete reversal of the power balance of the world.

Who is in the cast of The Power?

Alongside Collette as Mayor Margot Cleary-Lopez, the series stars John Leguizamo (Romeo + Juliet) as Rob Lopez, Auli’i Cravalho (Moana) as Jos Cleary-Lopez, Toheeb Jimoh (Ted Lasso) as Tunde Ojo, Josh Charles (The Good Wife) as Daniel Dandon, Eddie Marsan (Happy Go-Lucky) as Bernie Monke, Ria Zmitrowicz (Three Girls) as Roxy Monke, Zrinka Cvitešić (Na Putu) as Tatiana Moskalev and Halle Bush (The Power) as Allie Montgomery.

What was The Power by Naomi Alderman about?

The series is based on British writer Alderman’s 2016 science fiction novel and poses the question: What would the world look like if men were afraid of women rather than women being afraid of men?

It centres around women developing the ability to release electrical jolts from their fingers, thus leading them to become the dominant sex.

The book was inspired by a mentorship with The Handmaid’s Tale author Margaret Atwood and focuses on several main characters, none of whom fit into the traditional role of the protagonist. 

Stream The Power on Prime from March 31.
