Ceti Alpha V is a planned American limited television series developed by Nicholas Meyer for the streaming service Paramount+. It would be part of executive producer Alex Kurtzman's expansion of the Star Trek franchise. The series is intended to be a prequel to Meyer's film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) and consists of three episodes.
Premise[edit]
The series is set on the planet Ceti Alpha V before the events of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982).[1][2]

Development[edit]
After joining the CBS All Access series Star Trek: Discovery as a consulting producer and writer, Nicholas Meyer revealed in June 2017 that he was also working on a second Star Trek project that was unrelated to Discovery. Meyer previously wrote and directed the films Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991).[4][5] In May 2018, Meyer referred to the project as a "stand-alone Star Trek-related trilogy", and said that the project was on hold due to the heated relationship between companies CBS and Viacom. As Viacom is the parent-company of Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the Star Trek films, CBS was not able to use content from those films at that time, and Meyer's project was rumored to be a prequel to The Wrath of Khan.[1] The next month, after becoming sole showrunner of Discovery, Alex Kurtzman signed a five-year overall deal with CBS Television Studios to expand the Star Trek franchise beyond Discovery to several new series, miniseries, and animated series. This included a limited series based around the character Khan Noonien Singh and his storyline in The Wrath of Khan, in which he was portrayed by Ricardo Montalbán.[3]
The project was still on hold in November 2018, when Meyer revealed that it was a three-episode miniseries titled Ceti Alpha V, named for the planet that Khan and his followers live on before the events of The Wrath of Khan. He was unsure then if the project would be moving forward, and said CBS was concerned with how expensive the series would be to produce relative to its short running time.[2] In September 2020, ViacomCBS announced that CBS All Access would be expanded and rebranded as Paramount+ in March 2021.[6] In February 2021, Kurtzman said that new a new series was unlikely to be added to Paramount plus[7]'s slate of Star Trek Universe series until one of the existing five came to an end.[8]
