Star Trek: Khan is a scripted audio drama—not a new television season or film. Its trailer and expanded cast were unveiled on July 26, 2025, and the series premiered September 8, 2025. Naveen Andrews voices Khan Noonien Singh, with Wrenn Schmidt, Sonya Cassidy, Tim Russ, George Takei, and others in the cast.
What the Star Trek: Khan trailer revealed
Paramount revealed the official trailer, key art, premiere date, and additional casting during the Star Trek Universe presentation at San Diego Comic-Con on July 26, 2025. The trailer introduces a story set on Ceti Alpha V after Captain Kirk leaves Khan and his followers stranded there. The series follows Khan’s transformation toward the vengeful figure seen in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

These are voice performances for an audio drama. Andrews plays Khan in this series; the announcement does not describe it as a recasting for a screen production.
Why earlier cast lists may be shorter
An earlier StarTrek.com casting announcement published February 27, 2025 named Andrews and Schmidt as the leads and said more casting would follow. The July reveal expanded that list with Cassidy, Russ, Takei, and the supporting actors, so earlier reports may include only the first two names.
Release date and listening options
The first episode premiered on Star Trek Day, September 8, 2025. The original release plan called for new episodes every Monday through November 3, 2025. That schedule is historical: the series has already premiered and completed its announced weekly run.
The official series page lists one season and directs listeners toward podcast platforms. Platform availability and links can change, so use the current options shown there rather than assuming a particular service or subscription is required.
Who created and produced the audio drama?
The story is based on a story by Nicholas Meyer, who wrote and directed Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Kirsten Beyer and David Mack wrote the podcast, and Fred Greenhalgh directed it. Official production credits name CBS’ Eye Podcast Productions, Secret Hideout, and Roddenberry Entertainment as producers, with Realm as the production studio.
