The Power on Prime Video release schedule: When is episode 9 out?

However, not everyone is happy about the new power imbalance between the sexes - and the world quickly descends into chaos.

While adapting a rich novel is never easy, the series has received rave reviews. The cast also spoke to RadioTimes.com about what to expect, with Marsan praising Alderman's writing.

He said: "Really, I think Naomi's a bit of a genius. There's a real trojan horse element to The Power because you think it's about women gaining power, but it's not. It's an exploration of power and how it can be used for good or evil."

Here's everything you need to know about the release schedule for The Power and when episode 9, the finale episode, is available on Prime Video.

How many episodes of The Power are there?

There are nine episodes total in The Power.

Whether there will be a season 2 of the show remains to be seen. It hasn't been green-lit just yet but, when speaking to RadioTimes.com, the cast made it clear they're very up for it.

"I think it's only just begun," Collette, who plays Mayor Margot Cleary, said, while Leguizamo, who plays her husband Rob Lopez, added: "The book is a great springboard because where you can go with it is amazing, what power does to people, how people react to it, there's a whole place to go. I don't want to give anything away!"

Ria Zmitrowicz, who plays the fierce Roxy Monke, also said: "I just think it's such a rich tapestry of themes and ideas. I would love to do another series if we got offered it, yeah."

Meanwhile, Marsan, who plays her father, crime boss Eddie Monke, pointed out the importance of the story and how it tackles toxic masculinity, arguing that it's essential for the show to continue.

"Men already have physical dominance over women, they're already physically stronger," he explained. "And the thing I found most fascinating about when you reverse it, is men's reaction to it, they get so scared of it and so worried."
