*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.
