The world of The Power is our world, but for one twist of nature. Suddenly, and without warning, all teenage girls in the world develop the power to electrocute people at will. It's hereditary, it's inbuilt, and it can't be taken away from them. 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. Soon enough nearly every woman in the world can do it. And then everything is different.[1]

The series had been set to start production in late 2019 in the US state of Georgia but moved to Fairford and Lechlade in the south west of the UK due to a newly signed abortion law in Georgia.[18][19][20] Filming began in early February 2020 but was paused in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Other shooting locations included the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre and Bawdsey, which was chosen to take the place of Toronto, where filming had been planned to occur before the pandemic.[21][22] In late October 2021, the series filmed near Walvis Bay in Namibia.[23]
Collette filmed her scenes for the series over a period of five weeks.[24]
