What Is Star Trek: Khan?
A Prequel To Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan
Star Trek: Khan was originally a project developed by Nicholas Meyer, the director of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Star Trek: Khan explores the 20 years that Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban), his wife, Lt. Marla McGivers (Madlyn Rhue), and Khan's genetically engineered followers were stranded on the barren wasteland of Ceti Alpha V by Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Space Seed."
Intriguingly, Star Trek: Khan's newly announced guest stars mean that the podcast also takes place after Khan's death in Star Trek II. A new character, Dr. Rosalind Lear, as well as Ensign Tuvok and Captain Sulu from the USS Excelsior, explore the aftermath of Khan's death and try to glean answers about his imprisonment on Ceti Alpha V. Star Trek: Khan will shed new light on Khan's survival, relationship with McGivers, and hatred of Captain Kirk.
Our Take On Star Trek: Khan
Star Trek's Legacy Characters Make Khan's Podcast Even More Exciting
The story of Khan's exile and survival on Ceti Alpha V has never been fully told, and Star Trek: Khan can plug this decades-old hole in Star Trek canon. The fascinating aspects of Star Trek: Khan will be the exploration of his marriage to Lt. Marla McGivers, which audiences only saw the beginnings of in Star Trek: The Original Series. Star Trek: Khan also assembled a tremendous cast to voice Khan, Marla, and his supporting cast.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 changed the timeline so that Khan was a child in the early 21st century, but will Star Trek: Khan reflect this?
