The fantasy sci-fi weekly series “Cleopatra 2525” will not return next season, the show’s producer and distributor, Studios USA, announced Wednesday.

In a statment, Studios USA officials cited the current tough market conditions for first-run weekly dramas in syndication as their reason for terminating the series, which debuted midway through the 1999-2000 season.

The story of an exotic dancer unfrozen into the future, “Cleopatra” has scored well below a 2.0 national household rating this season.
