‘Star Trek: Khan’ Audio Series Reveals Lead Voice Cast, Featuring Naveen Andrews
‘Star Trek: Khan’ has officially announced its lead voice cast. The new scripted audio series will be available on all major podcast platforms in late 2025.
Naveen Andrews (Lost) will voice the legendary Khan Noonien Singh, while Wrenn Schmidt (For All Mankind) will play his wife, Marla McGivers. Recording for the series has now been completed, and more cast members will be revealed later.
The story is based on an idea by Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan writer and director Nicholas Meyer. Writers Kirsten Beyer and David Mack will bring the script to life.
The series will explore what happened on the harsh planet of Ceti Alpha V after Captain Kirk left Khan and his followers stranded there. It will show how Khan changed from a powerful leader with great ambitions to the vengeful villain seen in The Wrath of Khan.
In Star Trek: The Original Series, Khan and his crew were awakened from cryogenic sleep and tried to take over the USS Enterprise. Marla McGivers, a Starfleet historian, fell in love with Khan and helped him. Instead of facing punishment, she chose to join him in exile on Ceti Alpha V. As fans of The Wrath of Khan know, her story ended in tragedy.
Star Trek: Khan is produced by CBS’ Eye Podcast Productions, Secret Hideout, and Roddenberry Entertainment. The executive producers include Alex Kurtzman, Aaron Baiers, Kirsten Beyer, and Rod Roddenberry. The podcast is directed by Fred Greenhalgh, with Realm as the production studio.
