Amazon has shared the first teaser trailer for their upcoming adaptation of The Power, the award-winning book by Naomi Alderman, which is set to debut on Prime Video on March 31st.
The series looks to be told with a different structure than the book, which was a manifest of a fictional author telling the world’s history some 5,000 years from our own. Instead, the series is set in the present day and will focus on two-girl who start to develop the power to emit electricity and can shock anything and anyone at their will.
Check out the teaser trailer below.
“The Power is our world, but for one twist of nature. Suddenly, and without warning, teenage girls develop the power to electrocute people at will. 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.”
The Power stars Toni Collette as Mayor Margot Cleary-Lopez, alongside John Leguizamo as Rob Lopez, Auli’i Cravalho as Jos Cleary-Lopez, Toheeb Jimoh as Tunde Ojo, Josh Charles as Daniel Dandon, Eddie Marsan as Bernie Monke, Ria Zmitrowicz as Roxy Monke, Zrinka Cvitešić as Tatiana Moskalev and Halle Bush as Allie Montgomery.
