"House Of Anubis" Star Eugene Simon Hints That Nickelodeon UK May Start To Show "House Of Anubis" Season 3 In February Or March 2013!

Nickelodeon Star and "House of Anubis" actor Eugene Michael Simon (who portrays the character Jerome Clarke in HoA) has announced in a Tweet (post) on his official Twitter profile page (@Eugene_Simon) the exciting Nickelodeon UK News that Nickelodeon UK and Ireland may start to premiere and show season three of Nickelodeon's hit suspense-filled mystery drama series "House Of Anubis", titled "The Reawakening", on Nick UK & Eire and Nickelodeon HD from either Monday 25th February 2013 or Monday 25th March 2013!:
Anubis' first episode is 25th for us brits isn't it?:)
@Eugene_Simon: I believe so [...] yes. :)
Although both airdates are currently unconfirmed by Nick UK, both debut dates are both possible. However, if correct, it is more likely Nickelodeon UK will start to show "House Of Anubis" Season 3 from Monday 25th March 2013, as the British and Irish version of the popular children's channel has only just started to promote HoA season 3.

Nick UK have also announced that Nick and SIBUNA Stars Brad Kavanagh and Alexandra Shipp, who play Fabian Rutter and KT Rush, respectively, on Nickelodeon's popular mystery drama series, will be their roving reporters at the Nickelodeon 2013 Kids' Choice Awards which is being held in Los Angeles, California, USA on Saturday 23rd March 2012, where they'll be reporting the latest KCA 2013 news and gossip exclusively for Nickelodeon UK viewers, which could indicate that Nickelodeon UK & Ireland and Nick HD could be planning to debut the third series of "House Of Anubis" in March 2013.

Monday 25th March 2013 is also close to UK's school's Easter half-term holiday break (Friday 29 March (Good Friday) to Friday 12 April 2013), which could also indicate that the British launch of season three of Anubis could be on Monday 25th March 2013.

Online Nickelodeon UK schedules on television guide websites such as Radiotimes, DigiGuide and LocateTV, are also reporting that there are no current plans for Nickelodeon UK to start to show season three of Nick's "House Of Anubis" from Monday 25th February 2013.

Meanwhile, there have been rumours on the internet that Nickelodeon have cancelled House of Anubis and that the series won't be returning for a season 4 (fourth season), however, as of this time, this hasn't been confirmed by Nick.
