House of Anubis

When Nina, a new American student, arrives at an old English boarding school, she finds more than dorm life awaiting her. A popular girl has vanished, the caretaker acts colder than expected, and a menacing crow prop and a shadowy attic hint at secrets under the roof. Nina teams up with curious housemates, especially Fabian, to sort through hidden messages, locked rooms, and strange coincidences. The show keeps the stakes personal, focusing on friendships and whispered clues as the group chases answers without revealing the outcomes of their discoveries.
