While I’m personally not a fan of Khan, I’m glad this series is going to see the light of day. If this old Variety Article is to believed, it was originally going to be a full streaming series. And we’re almost on the cusp of Academy.
Meyer summarized the situation at Star Trek Day 2022:
“Alex Kurtzman made an interesting suggestion to me. He said, ‘I wonder what happened during those 15 years’ that Khan was marooned or exiled or transplanted, take your pick, to Ceti Alpha V, which was at the time of flourishing planet. I thought that was a really cool idea. I wound up writing three one-hour episodes for a Star Trek television show that for reasons beyond Alex or my control hasn’t been made until now. So it’s going to be a podcast. It’s going to start life as a podcast. I will take those scripts, adapt them, expand them, and as with all writing, get a chance to make them better. So I hope you’ll all tune in for them.”
