The Power cast is made up of some great stars, who are taking on roles originally found in the bestselling book of the same name by Naomi Alderman.
In Prime Video's latest sci-fi thriller The Power, we follow teenage girls across the world as they become aware that they possess a strange new power, where bolts of electricity spark from their fingertips.
Naturally, this is a cause for concern and communities are worried about the consequences of this unexplained phenomenon. Among these is Seattle mayor Margot Cleary-Lopez, which much of the series focuses on.
