What is The Power about?

The Power is a diverse and dynamic science fiction drama that unfolds within a world very much like our own, yet diverges due to a sudden and inexplicable twist in nature. Teenage girls across the globe suddenly develop an extraordinary ability: they can produce and discharge electricity from their fingertips. This newfound ability, initially a startling anomaly, quickly becomes a hereditary and unstoppable force, as these teenagers are able to activate this power in older women. The series chronicles the journey of several key characters from varied backgrounds, including the mayor of Seattle and her family, as the implications of this shift ripple through various societies and cultures, from London to Seattle, Nigeria to Eastern Europe. The narrative tracks the transformation of society following this power being unleashed, examining the reversal of traditional gender roles and the resulting societal upheavals. As the misuse of power leads to chaos and challenges, it probes themes of authority, oppression, and the nature of power itself. 'The Power' engages audiences with its imaginative premise and its reflection on current societal structures through the lens of speculative fiction.

The first episode of The Power aired on March 30, 2023 and the most recent episode to air was on May 11, 2023.
