Leslie Mann, Tim Robbins exit Amazon series The Power 

Leslie Mann and Tim Robbins have left The Power, a thriller drama series from Amazon Studios. Both their roles will be recast in the show which is based on Naomi Alderman's best-selling novel of the same name.

Mann was cast as the lead Margot Cleary-Lopez in October 2019 and Robbins boarded the project in Rainn Wilson's place who was initially cast as male lead Daniel Dandon. The Office actor Wilson had left the show after filming was delayed due to the pandemic-induced shutdown.

When Robbins signed on, the role of Daniel was switched from a series regular to a recurring guest star. It will remain that way as the part is being recast.

The Power is set in a world where all teenage girls across the globe suddenly develop the power to electrocute people at will. They soon discover that they can ignite the same power in older women too, and soon every woman in the world can do it. And then everything is different.

    Democrat Margot Cleary-Lopez is the mayor of Seattle and a political star and Daniel Dandon is the self-righteous Republican governor of Washington state and constant pain on her side. The 10-episode series is produced by Sister and directed by Reed Morano of The Handmaid's Tale fame.
