“The Power” is finally coming to the small screen. First announced in 2019, the series adaptation of Naomi Alderman’s bestselling novel hits Prime Video next month. A new trailer for the feminist dystopian sci-fi hints at a revolution in the making. “Teenage girls are developing a new organ,” we’re told. “One that generates electricity.” Teen girls suddenly have the ability electrocute people, causing a seismic shift in society.
“This power is evolution,” a politician (Toni Collette, “The Staircase”) emphasizes.
We also hear from a teen who has been affected. “I was living in constant fear. Now I feel 100 times stronger. Can you imagine that kind of freedom?” she asks.
“The Power” premieres March 31. According to IMDb, Shannon Murphy (“Killing Eve”), Neasa Hardiman (“Happy Valley”), Logan Kibens (“American Horror Stories”), Ugla Hauksdóttir (“Hanna”), and Lisa Gunning (“Tigerman) helmed episodes.
