The Power's Toheeb Jimoh on the show's urgent exploration of toxic masculinity

Toheeb Jimoh as Tunde Edo

Amazon’s The Power, based on the best-selling novel by Naomi Alderman, reimagines the world as one ruled by women who can electrocute people at will, making a clever and striking commentary on female empowerment in an otherwise patriarchal society.

Toheeb Jimoh plays Tunde Edo, an aspiring journalist from Nigeria who, after experiencing the Power firsthand, dives into a deep investigation that leads him to capture the first-ever on-video evidence that goes viral. The discovery of the Power takes him out of his comfort zone, out of Nigeria, and across the world.
