Het Huis Anubis is a Belgian-Dutch children's television drama created by Studio 100 and Nickelodeon, airing in the Netherlands and Flanders. It first aired in September 2006 and the last episode was broadcast on December 4, 2009. The show was a huge success in the Benelux, despite the show's low budget for the first two seasons. After ending, the show was followed by a spin-off, called Het Huis Anubis en de Vijf van het Magische Zwaard. This series followed another group of friends, who moved into the house from the original series after the original residents moved out and went to college. None of the actors from the original returned. The spin-off was as successful as the original series and finished its second season in June 2011. The series started airing re-airing all episodes in fall 2011, after the spin-off had its finale. Even though the majority of the episodes stayed the same, the episodes were aired in widescreen and they replaced some of the old music with newer songs. Also, other small changes and cuts were made to make the seasons look a little bit more like the later seasons.
