Nina later meets a senior citizen named Sarah Frobisher-Smithe (Rita Davies), who had lived in the house decades earlier. Her parents were archaeologists in Egypt who mysteriously died. Out of frustration and spite for Nina, Patricia forces Nina to spend a night in the attic of the house as a sort of initiation. She gets scared at first, but realizes that she somehow has a connecton to the house. A necklace, shaped as the Eye of Horus, was given to Nina by Sarah. It, too, has a connection to the house, and the fact that it was given to Nina makes her want to go back to the attic again lots of times.

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 Fabian Rutter (Brad Kavanagh) and one other resident in the house, Amber Millington (Ana Mulvoy Ten). They form a secret group called "Sibuna," or Anubis backwards. The three 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.

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.[7]

As of March 10, 2011, Season 2 has been confirmed by Nickelodeon in a New York press release. [8]

As of the moment, no new information has been found with regard to Season 2.
