Exciting news for die-hard Star Trek fans as has wrapped on recording for the previously announced STAR TREK: KHAN, an all-new scripted audio series expanding the Star Trek Universe. STAR TREK: KHAN lead voice cast includes Naveen Andrews (“Lost”) as the iconic Khan and Wrenn Schmidt (“For All Mankind”) as Marla McGivers.

Kirk led to unimaginable tragedy and loss. But the truth has been buried for too long beneath the sands of Ceti Alpha V.
