Writer-producer Raelle Tucker was still reading Naomi Alderman’s 2016 dystopian novel “The Power” when she realized she had to be involved in bringing it to television.
“I was about halfway through and I called my agents and said, ‘If this is in development I need to know why I am not the showrunner,’” Tucker says. “I freaked out because I came off shows like ‘Jessica Jones’ and ‘True Blood,’ and I had been looking for something of this scale.
“I wanted to do something super ambitions,” she says. “And I love genre and have a very comfortable relationship with that kind of story telling. So I felt like I was the obvious fit for this show.”
