David Henrie and Selena Gomez Return to Waverly Place in First Look at Reboot ‘Wizards Beyond Waverly Place’

As a gamer with a heart for nostalgia and a soft spot for Disney Channel shows, I must admit that the news of “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” has me jumping with joy! Growing up, “Wizards of Waverly Place” was a staple in my household. Selena Gomez’s Alex Russo and David Henrie’s Justin Russo were characters I looked up to, their magical shenanigans providing endless entertainment.


Disney unveiled the initial glimpse of the upcoming sequel series for “Wizards of Waverly Place”, titled “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place”.

The video (posted below), which was played during the debut of Descendants: The Rise of Red on Disney Channel, offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the show, focusing on David Henrie’s character Justin Russo and Selena Gomez portraying his on-screen sister Alex Russo. Notably, it also highlights David DeLuise as Jerry Russo, a character who was part of the original series.

As Gomez plays an executive producer role on the revival of Wizards of Waverly Place, she is currently slated to appear solely in the initial episode. “This is where it all began,” she expressed in a sneak peek. “We’re back home.”

The television series titled “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” finds Justin, now grown, embracing a regular, human life with his wife and children. However, when Alex arrives at his home with a young wizard-in-training named Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown), he recognizes the need to reactivate his magical abilities in order to guide this apprentice, all while managing his daily obligations and ensuring the protection of the Wizard World’s future.

Alkaio Thiele, Max Matenko, Taylor Cora, and Mimi Gianopulos complete the ensemble of the show’s cast.

As a gamer, I can’t help but feel like I’ve just leveled up when I reminisce about my reunion with Gomez on the Wizards of Waverly Place reboot. It was an epic experience, one we didn’t want to conclude. The time spent working together again, after over a decade, was simply fantastic. She’s incredibly talented, her quick-wittedness is something to behold and it seems to have only grown stronger with time.

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is set to premiere on Disney Channel and Disney+ later this year.
