The Star Trek franchise continues to expand with Star Trek: Khan, the latest addition to the popular sci-fi world. The audio series features the voices of Naveen Andrews (The Dropout) as Khan and Wrenn Schmidt (For All Mankind) as Lt. Marla McGivers, a former Starfleet historian who followed Khan into exile on Ceti Alpha V.
The audio series is expected to be released on podcast platforms later this year. Kirsten Beyer and David Mack wrote the series, based on a story by Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan‘s writer and director Nicholas Meyer. Fred Greenhalgh directed, and Rod Roddenberry, Alex Kurtzman, Aaron Baiers, Kirsten Beyer, Molly Barton, Fred Greenhalgh, and Trevor Roth served as executive producers.
CBS Studios offered this description of the audio series:
“The exciting expansion of the Star Trek universe will explore the dramatic untold events that unfolded in the desolate world of Ceti Alpha V after Captain Kirk left Khan and his followers stranded there, paving the way for the iconic clash in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
History remembers Khan Noonien Singh as a villain, the product of a failed attempt to perfect humanity through genetic engineering, whose quest to avenge himself on Admiral James T. Kirk led to unimaginable tragedy and loss. But the truth has been buried for too long beneath the sands of Ceti Alpha V. How did Khan go from a beneficent tyrant and superhuman visionary with a new world at his fingertips to the monster we think we know so well? Recently unearthed, the rest of Khan’s story will finally be told in Star Trek: Khan.”
