"But why? And what happened to Khan's wife, the former Starfleet historian Marla McGivers, who agreed to live with Khan on Ceti Alpha V? And how come all of Khan's minions in The Wrath are so much younger than the folks in "Space Seed"? In the new audio podcast series Star Trek: Khan, all of these questions are answered, and then some. The show has just dropped its first episode on podcast platforms everywhere, and hardcore Trekkies everywhere are in for a surprising journey."
""I just went straight to the source, which, to me, is Montalban," Naveen Andrews tells Inverse of his inspiration to take on the role of Khan in the new audio series. Andrews is probably best known to genre fans for his role as Sayid in Lost. But the actor explains that the appeal of taking this part on was to honor the core canon of the character, specifically, the idea that Khan was of Indian descent, as is Andrews."
Star Trek: Khan audio series fills gaps in Khan's timeline by explaining why Khan returns furious fifteen years after exile and by revealing Marla McGivers' fate and the age disparity among his followers. The series preserves established canon while adding new layers to Khan's motivations and circumstances on Ceti Alpha V. Naveen Andrews voices Khan and drew inspiration from Ricardo Montalban, emphasizing the character's Indian heritage and his own full-blooded Indian background. Early episodes portray a softer Khan alongside traits that foreshadow the more ruthless figure seen later, and the series aims to answer longstanding fan questions.
