The Office alum Rainn Wilson has bagged his next project. Currently guest-starring in the sitcom, Mom, Wilson has been roped in as a series regular in Amazon's The Power.

Wilson will play Daniel Dandon, who is being described as “the self-righteous and self-important Governor of Washington and constant thorn in Margot’s [Leslie Mann] side. But when the Day of the Girls arrives, Dandon’s position begins to look decidedly precarious.”

Wilson is also part of Amazon’s upcoming Utopia, based on the popular U.K. format and in feature films Blackbird, in which he stars opposite Kate Winslet and Susan Sarandon, and Don’t Tell A Soul, which will premiere at Tribeca Film Festival.

The Power is a 10-episode thriller based on the novel of the same name by Naomi Alderman. In the book, teenage girls all over the world suddenly develop the power to electrocute people at will. What evolves from a “tingle in teenagers’ collarbones” ends up causing a complete reversal of the balance of power in the world.
