Cleopatra in Space is an American animated television series produced by DreamWorks Animation, based on the graphic novel series of the same name by Mike Maihack.The series focuses on 15-year-old Cleopatra VII (Lilimar Hernandez) as she gets transported 30,000 years into the future, to an Egyptian-themed planet that is ruled by talking cats. She discovers that she is the prophesied savior of the future world. In order to prepare for her role and mission, Cleo is sent to an elite academy where she has to train to take on the bad guys, figure out how to eventually get herself back home to Egypt, and tackle the highs and lows of being a teenager in high school with her best friends Akila (Katie Crown) and Brian (Jorge Diaz), and her teacher Khensu (Sendhil Ramamurthy).Originally slated to premiere on Universal Kids in the United States, instead the first five episodes of the series were released early onto NBCUniversal's Peacock streaming service on April 15, 2020, for Xfinity users. For those who don't have that provider, the series premiered nationwide on July 15. It would make its debut on Hulu almost a year later on July 14, 2021. Worldwide however, the series first premiered on the DreamWorks Channel in Southeast Asia on November 25, 2019. The series also premiered on Teletoon+ in Poland on February 17, 2020, dubbed into Polish. In Australia, the series premiered on ABC Me on August 3, 2020.

Gone Horribly Right: In "Akila Says No", Cleo and Brian try to get Akila to refuse to do every request asked of her, which includes several unpleasant ones and results in a high workload for her. By the end of the episode, she's refusing every request, even small, simple tasks.

Aborted Arc: Early in the series Cleo is told of the Blight, an event in which nearly all the galaxy's written and recorded information was lost, severely damaging their ability to fight Octavian. After episode two this problem is only mentioned in a couple of throwaway lines before being completely forgotten; in later episodes the characters seem to have no trouble looking up information when they need it.

Adapted Out
 Cleopatra in Space / int_33d5b7f2
comment
Adapted Out: Bakari, Cleo’s teacher from Ancient Egypt in the comic, who wrote the prophecy about her, is absent from the series. An ambiguous case with Anubis. In the comics he is Octavian’s master and true enemy. However, when we learn Octavian’s backstory here, Anubis is absent and there are no hints that Octavian serves anybody. That being said, a statue of Anubis is given particular focus in the show’s opening, and when Cleo and Zaid venture into the star to find the ATA tablet, a vision of what appears to be him and Ra facing off is briefly seen, implying he may have appeared if the show hadn’t been Cut Short.

comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In the first episode, Cleo grabs a laser gun displayed on the wall to try and defend herself against an assassin robot. Since she's from a time period where guns are nonexistent, she has no idea how to operate it and quickly discards it in favor of a bo-staff (a weapon she does know how to use).

Scale Model Destruction
 Cleopatra in Space / int_59ef66e
comment
Scale Model Destruction: At the beginning of "Do-Over", Akila shows Cleo a miniature model of PYRAMID that she'd built... and naturally, Cleo accidentally destroys it in an act of clumsiness. Akila is not happy, as she'd pulled an all-nighter to complete the model, and on top of that, she was already cross with Cleo for making a mess out of their room (which contributed to the aforementioned act of clumsiness). Because of the episode's plotline, however, this is far from the only time Cleo destroys the model, no matter how hard she tries to avoid doing so.

Foreshadowing
 Cleopatra in Space / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: There are multiple hints that point to Octavian and Gozi being the same person. When he and Cleo are hanging out in the first episode, Gozi mentions that he wants to be a great and feared warrior. Octavian is introduced as a ruthless and powerful conqueror feared across the galaxy. In the episode "Clubbing", Cleo has a dream that shows Gozi with glowing Eye of Ra and Eye of Horus symbols around his eyes, and states "I've had 30,000 years to practice," after she says he's gotten better with a slingshot. When Octavian has Cleo captured on her ship and reveals he is 30,000 years old, he makes a point of mentioning he is only a little older that she is chronologically. While the group goes insane after searching for the ATA tablet non-stop in “Paradise Found�, Brian at one point gushes about the fact that the Arch-Enemy of his favorite comic book hero is secretly her childhood friend. During part of the opening where Cleo is transported into the future, we see a dark shot of shadowy figure with menacing red eyes similar to Octavian’s coming into a frame, only for the lights to turn on and the figure to be revealed as seemingly friendly minister Khepra. It is eventually revealed that Khepra is actually allied with Octavian. Khensu is pretty defensive about his private life, going into tangents and throwing smoke bombs to escape when asked. “Ladies’s Night� also reveals he has some pretty in-depth knowledge about Khepra’s likes and dislikes, only for him to once again do his routine and disappear when questioned. The same episode reveals Khepra is his mother and that it’s kept secret to avoid accusations of nepotism.
