'Star Trek: Khan', an origin story for classic villain, returns George Takei as Sulu — watch the trailer
The first episode arrives this September, as announced during a San Diego Comic-Con panel. Star Trek: Khan, a new audio series chronicling the origin story for the classic villain, released its first trailer, confirming more returning Star Trek vets. The reveal came during Saturday's Star Trek Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, and the big casting confirmation was George Takei, who returns to the character of Sulu, which he originated on the original 1966 TV series. Tim Russ will also reprise his Star Trek: Voyager character, Ensign Tuvok. Releasing the first episode this Sept. 8 for Star Trek Day, Star Trek: Khan will explore "the untold events on Ceti Alpha V, chronicling Khan's descent from a superhuman visionary into the vengeful villain seen in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," an official summary of the scripted podcast reads. New episodes will be available weekly every Monday through Nov. 3, wherever you get your podcasts. Naveen Andrews of Lost fame will voice Khan Noonien Singh himself. Wrenn Schmidt from For All Mankind was also previously announced as Lieutenant Marla McGivers. They are joined by Sonya Cassidy (Reacher) as Dr. Rosalind Lear, Olli Haaskivi (Oppenheimer) as Delmonda, Maury Sterling (Homeland) as Ivan, Mercy Malick (Mr. Mayor) as Ursula, and Zuri Washington (Life With Althaar) as Madot. Earlier in the Trek panel, Paramount+ released an early look at Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4, which will feature a puppet-themed episode with the crew turning into Muppets. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan writer and director Nicholas Meyer wrote the story on which Star Trek: Khan is based. Kirsten Beyer and David Mack also serve as writers on the podcast.

The First Trailer for ‘Star Trek: Khan' Lifts the Lid on a Legend
Almost three years ago, Wrath of Khan director Nicholas Meyer shocked the Star Trek universe when he announced that he would be returning to one of Trek's most iconic villains in Star Trek: Khan, a scripted podcast revealing the secret life of Khan Noonien Singh. Now, we have our first look at the series—and know when to expect it. During today's Star Trek Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Paramount revealed the first trailer for Khan, giving us a first listen at its cast in action. Set between the events of the iconic original series episode that introduced Khan, 'Space Seed', and its sequel film, Wrath of Khan, the podcast sees Naveen Andrews play the titular superhuman as he navigates the exile thrust upon him by Captain Kirk on Ceti Alpha V. Alongside Andrews, Star Trek: Khan will also star Wrenn Schmidt as Lieutenant Marla McGivers, the Starfleet historian played by Madlyn Rhue in 'Space Seed' who reluctantly aided Khan in his attempt to take over the Enterprise, and Sonya Cassidy as a new character named Doctor Rosalind Lear. In a surprise twist, they will be joined by two Star Trek legends: George Takei will once again reprise his role as Hikaru Sulu, former conn officer of the Enterprise and captain of the U.S.S. Excelsior, but he will also be joined by Voyager's Tim Russ. Russ will reprise his role as Tuvok, building on the Vulcan's backstory first explored in the season three anniversary episode 'Flashback', which revealed that Tuvok's first Starfleet commission saw him serve as a junior science officer aboard the Excelsior during the events of The Undiscovered Country. Star Trek: Khan will release as a weekly episodic podcast starting on September 8—better known as Star Trek Day, marking the franchise's 59th anniversary—with episodes dropping through November 6.
