Star Trek, The Original Series had a memorable episode in 1967 titled "Space Seed" in which Ricardo Montalbán played Khan, a genetically-superior human from the 20th century. By the end of the episode, Khan, the villain, was exiled to planet Ceti Alpha V. The character was resurrected in the 1982 movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Khan proved so popular that he also was in Star Trek Into Darkness in 2013, although that was set in an alternate universe, with Khan re-cast since Ricardo Montalbán died in 2009.
But Star Trek fans are still drawn to the character. What happened to Khan during those years as an exile on Ceti Alpha V? Nicholas Meyer, who directed The Wrath of Khan, sets out to answer that question in an upcoming podcast series titled Ceti Alpha V. The podcast series will explain how Khan went from an exile on a healthy planet to a desperate and cutthroat survivalist before returning to seek revenge on Captain Kirk. The story has been in the works for years, and now Meyer says it's in the casting stage. Read what we know about the podcast and the story at Inverse.
