After Jack of All Trades (2000) was canceled, Cleopatra 2525 episodes became longer in order to fill its runtime. In all, six episodes of season 2 (the last six of the series) were increased to a 45 minute runtime.
The theme song is a remix of the old hit by Zager and Evans, "In the Year 2525", originally recorded in 1969. It is frequently thought to have been sung by series star Gina Torres, but was not (as clarified by her at a panel discussion at Fan Expo 2013.)
Lucy Lawless originally played Voice in the pilot, but due to scheduling conflicts the character was finally played by Elizabeth Hawthorne. The pilot was eventually broadcast as episode 'Home' and Voice was re-dubbed.
Filmed and made in Auckland, New Zealand.
