Last year, Amazon Prime was able to land a series hit in the sci-fi/mystery area with Peripherals. While the dystopian tale starring Chloë Grace Moretz will continue as part of a second season, the streaming service is making its debut next promising project before: The gift.
Sci-Fi bestseller as an Amazon series: In The Gift, young women change the world with electric shocks
The gift is based on the novel of the same name by Naomi Alderman, which hit the bestseller lists in 2016 and is originally titled The Power. The story tells of young women who power structure of the world change: You gain supernatural powers that no one can explain.
Through their minds they can emit surges of electricity and thus hurt, if not kill, people around them. The eponymous gift empowers, but also instills fear and dread. The further it spreads, the more it becomes clear: the world will never be the same again. Every new day brings more change.
