Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Is Set To Release During Halloween

As a cinephile who has spent countless hours immersed in the magical world of Disney, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming premiere of “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.” Having grown up with the original series, I remember the charm and nostalgia it brought to our living rooms every week. The return of Alex Russo, played by none other than Selena Gomez, is like a sweet reunion with an old friend.


As a devoted movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that Disney has announced the release date for “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place,” the long-awaited sequel to the beloved Disney Channel series “Wizards of Waverly Place.” This spooktacular premiere is timed perfectly for Halloween. In this new adventure, we find Justin Russo (David Henrie) leading a regular human life with his wife Giada (Mimi Gianopulos), and their two children, Roman (Alkaio Thiele) and Milo (Max Matenko). However, when Justin’s sister Alex (Selena Gomez) shows up at his doorstep with a wizard-in-training named Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown), Justin must rekindle his magical abilities to guide her while managing his everyday responsibilities. Interestingly, “Wizards of Waverly Place” was Selena Gomez’s breakout role, and she’s set to make a special appearance in the premiere episode, with potential for more appearances down the line.

It has been announced that the show “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” will make its debut with a double premiere on Disney Channel on October 29, 2024 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The first eight episodes will then be released for streaming on Disney+ and Disney Channel On Demand the following day, October 30th, providing a perfect opportunity for families to watch it together in the lead-up to Halloween. This series won’t just be a reunion for “Wizards of Waverly Place,” as confirmed by Deadline, as stars Raven-Symoné (known for “That’s So Raven” and “Raven’s House”) and Danielle Fishel (from “Boy Meets World” and “Girl Meets World”) will be directing episodes in the first season.

The Last Week of October Will Be Busy for Selena Gomez

Ever since the popular show “Wizards of Waverly Place”, Selena Gomez has risen to fame as both an actress and a musician. Currently, she is shining in the critically-appraised Hulu Original series “Only Murders in the Building“. Interestingly, the premiere date of “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place“, October 29th, coincides with the Season 4 finale of “Only Murders“. This makes it a significant day for Gomez and her devoted fans. To add to this, on November 1st, the film that won the Best Actress award at Cannes for Gomez and her co-stars, “Emilia Pérez“, will have a limited theatrical release before it premieres on Netflix on November 13, 2024. Gomez will undoubtedly be kept busy during this period.

It’s clever timing by Disney to premiere “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” just before Halloween. Channels like Freeform and their annual 31 Days of Halloween have made Disney a beloved choice for families during this holiday, due to classics such as “Hocus Pocus” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas”. With its debut on The Disney Channel, “Beyond Waverly Place” is expected to attract large audiences, consisting of both older fans who remember the original series and the new generation the show is targeting. Moreover, it’s likely to become a can’t-miss marathon for families in the final days of Halloween and early November.
