Het Huis Anubis

House of Anubis is a British teen mystery drama series, based on the Belgian/Dutch series Het Huis Anubis. The series was created by Hans Bourlon & Gert Verhulst, and premiered on Nickelodeon on January 1, 2011 in the United States.

The series follows a group of eight teenagers, who live together in Anubis House (named after the Egyptian god, Anubis), an early 1900s-era building that serves as a boarding house for an elite boarding school in the United Kingdom. Nina Martin (Nathalia Ramos), an American girl who had been living with her grandmother since the death of her parents, leaves the States to attend and move into the school; at the same time, another resident, popular student Joy Mercer (Klariza Clayton), suddenly disappears without warning and the school's strict landlord, Victor Rodenmaar (Francis Magee), attempts to be rid of Joy's existence from the school.

Plot

Patricia Williamson (Jade Ramsey), Joy's best friend (Klariza Clayton) is dismayed to discover her friend has left without a trace and accuses Nina, who is her new roommate, living in the same dorm room that Joy stayed in with Patricia, of being involved with Joy's disappearance. Nina later meets a senior citizen named Sarah (Rita Davies), who had lived in the house decades earlier, her parents were archaeologists in Egypt who mysteriously died. In order to get to the bottom of the situation behind the vanishing of her best friend, Patricia forces Nina to spend a night in the attic of the house, as a sort of initiation. Nina later discovers wax cylinders hidden in the attic revealing that the house has a secret history and holds a mystery that is unknown to anyone. She decides to investigate it, alongside her new friend and fellow resident Fabian Rutter (Brad Kavanagh) and two other residents in the house, Amber Millington (Ana Mulvoy Ten) and Patricia Williamson. They form a secret group called "Sibuna" or Anubis backwards. The four teens team together to search for the treasure that is hidden within the House of Anubis, and uncover the mystery behind the school as well as the disappearance of Joy, as they and the other four residents of the house deal with the situations that come with everyday teenage life, such as romance, pranks and social situations.

Production and development

Production began in August 2009, but in March 2010 it was announced by Studio 100 that the series was sold to Nickelodeon in the United States.[2] The series was filmed in the summer of 2010 in Liverpool, and was first broadcast in America on January 1, 2011.[3]

The series is the first original series produced for the flagship U.S. Nickelodeon channel to be produced outside of North America,[4] and is Nickelodeon's first original drama series since the 2000-2002 series Caitlin's Way. The series is structured in a different manner from other live-action television series, in that each episode consists of two eleven-minute segments, a format commonly used in half-hour animated series (although the events of each subsequent segment pick up from the events of the previous segment); and the series' episodes are formatted to be broadcast in the five-day-a-week format that is typically common with soap operas.[5]

Reception

Critical reception

Youth Television News review commended Nickeldoeon's attempt at a drama series, saying "a good story always outdoes a repetitive sitcom."[6]

Audience reception

The hour-long series premiere on January 1, 2011 overall was watched by an average of 2.9 million viewers for the first two episodes in the series. The series scored a 4.0 share (846,000 viewers) among teens 11-17, a 4.4 share (952,000 viewers) among kids 11-15 and a 3.5 share (1.2 million) among kids 11-18, ranking #1 amongst all broadcast and basic cable programs in its timeslot in all pre-teen and teenagers demographics.[7]

International distribution

The series is the international version of Het Huis Anubis, and thus will be broadcast on international versions of Nickelodeon around the world. In Australia and New Zealand, it will premiere on February 7, 2011 on Nickelodeon.[8]
