Soon enough nearly every woman in the world can do it. Coming alive to the thrill of pure power: the ability to hurt or even kill by releasing electrical jolts from their fingertips, they rapidly learn they can awaken the Power in older women. It's hereditary, it's inbuilt, and it can't be taken away from them. Suddenly, and without warning, all teenage girls in the world develop the power to electrocute people at will. The world of The Power is our world, but for one twist of nature. The first season consists of nine episodes and premiered on 31 March 2023. The Power is a British science fiction drama television series developed by Raelle Tucker, Naomi Alderman, Claire Wilson, and Sarah Quintrell for Amazon Prime Video, based on Alderman's 2016 novel The Power.
