We chat with ThePower executive producers Tim Bricknell & Naomi Alderman, who also wrote the novel, about creating the PrimeVideo series and expanding on their favorite moments:
The Power is the newest sci-fi series on Prime Video, which follows the interwoven stories of several women as a new power begins to awaken within them. Based on the novel of the same name by Naomi Alderman, who also serves as one of the show’s executive producers, The Power centers on a new organ present only in women: the skein. This new piece of anatomy allows women to produce powerful electricity, and in turn begins to shift the power balance between men and women.
