With Star Trek Picard coming to an end next season,
Paramount Plus is likely already looking for the next big live action Star Trek
series to replace it.
If you were secretly hoping for a section 31 spinoff with resident Star Trek
discovery, butt kicking Empress Georgiou don't hold your breath.
Michelle Yeoh is hot off the movie: Everything Everywhere, All At Once.
With legitimate Oscar buzz and she's currently involved in nine projects. Yes.
Nine. Including four Avatar films.
With her star on the rise there is very little chance she returns to Star Trek.
And for everyone thinking star fleet academy is going to be the next big show on
the docket. Don't be so sure.
perhaps the next show will star a character we've been hearing a lot about
lately. Someone who is incredibly prolific in the Star Trek universe,
but also amazingly very little is really known about him.
Is Khan Noonien Singh, going to be the next Star Trek series?
The evidence is there.

right now Paramount Plus has five new Star Trek shows when you include
Prodigy and Lower Decks. And while the animated series have their audiences
the live action shows get the majority of the attention.
and paramount is not going to wanna slow the train when their entire streaming
service is banking on Star Trek success.
And with Picard leaving that leaves a spot open. or possibly even two.
with the current 10 episode format.
paramount has new live action Star Trek 30 weeks a year right
now. but it makes a whole lot more sense for there to be four shows,
leaving almost no reason for Star Trek fans to ever put a stop to their
paramount subscription.
So even if there is a star fleet academy series.
There is room for one more and based on everything we've seen recently.
we believe that series very well could be about Khan Noonien Singh.
back in February, Alex Kurtzman,
the current head of Star Trek on paramount plus.
Was asked which future shows were being considered.
And what he said gave us a good look at what his plans are. He said,
we have to think several years out.
We're thinking about knowing we'll want new shows on the air in two or three
years. So we'll have to start planning for those.
Now there is a bunch of things in development now that are starting to take
shape, and we are super excited about it. During that interview,
Kurtzman revealed, there is a show beside section 31 being planned, but added.
He wanted to be tight lipped about the new series,
but why would he need to remain tight lipped about it?
Is it because there were things that needed to come out first before he couldnt
talk about it? We believe so.
Is it a coincidence that we've been seeing Khan all over the place lately or are
they setting his stage before we show you all the signs of why we believe
Khan is about to get his own show?
Let me quickly tell you why you are going to love this video sponsor factor.
Why actor? Why exactly was Adam soon looking at a 1996 report about Khan
Nuon sing at the end of Picard, season two,
it wasn't to tease something for season three because K isn't a T and G bad guy.
And it would just be weird to Khannect him to the final season of Picard.
Sure. Maybe it's a nod to Adam's future descendant, Eric soon,
whom we see on Star Trek enterprise and will Khantinue researching genetically
augmented humans before agreeing to give it all up and focus on robotics and AI
instead,
or is it a sign of things to come?
Why include a descendant of Khan on the new show, strange new worlds.
It's obvious the show wanted to make deep connnections with classic Trek.
But
Goldsman said Lahan is for sure related to Khan.
And that "Khannection" will unfold. He didn't bring her in to be flashy.
They wanted to dig deeply into characters and see what happens.
But obviously you don't put a Khan descendent on board the enterprise just a few
years before the TOS episode space seed and not explore what that's all about.
or perhaps this as well is just setting the stage for a Khan
centered show that Laan can eventually join.
What most people don't know is that Nicholas Meyer who famously directed the
epic Star Trek wrath of Khan movie,
was working on Star Trek discovery season one. And while he was on that show,
he was developing another project. That's right.
A mini series about khan noonien singh.
The show would be set on the planet, CETI alpha five.
And the story would explain what happened to Khan between TOS and Star Trek
Meyer would go on to say that the project is just sitting on the table,
but don't forget.
Kurtzman just said there was a project he didn't want to give away. Could it be,
he didn't want to give it away so that the events of Picard season two and
strange new world season one could play out first. And as recently as April,
prior to the Khan Easter egg in Picard.
Meyer tweeted out that the world of Star Trek is so big,
many have imagined additional stories. Here's the one I'd still like to tell
when Kurtzman first deal with CBS was "Khanfirmed".
The idea of a Khan series came up and according to a variety article in
2021,
a limited series based around the wrath of Khan story was in the works. However,
nothing has been said further about this at that time,
CBS declined to confirm specific projects.
strange since CBS did confirm other details about the animated series.
It seems as if everything related to a Khan series has been very hush hush,
we believe the Star Trek show runners are hiding an ACE up their sleeve with a
future Khan series when and where they play that ACE is yet to be seen.
But with scripts written and new characters Khannecte,
it seems like it's just a matter of time before they go all in on a Khan TV
series. What do you think,
would you like to see a Khan TV series?
Would you like it to be set on CETI alpha five or during the eugenics wars?
Would you like to see LLa'an Noonien-Singh to it somehow?
Is this a winning plan for the current creators of Star Trek?
Let's talk about it in the comments below.
