As a long-time fan who grew up with Selena Gomez and her magical escapades in Waverly Place, this news about the sequel series feels like Christmas came early! The nostalgia is palpable as I reminisce about those carefree days when wizardry was just a click away.
Selena Gomez is reminiscing about her days on the Disney+ spin-off show, titled “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place“, which continues the story from “Wizards of Waverly Place“.
The Emmy-nominated actress posted a series of pictures on Instagram, featuring herself along with David Henrie and other cast members, taken during the filming of the show.
There’s nothing more rewarding than bringing joy to young children, and that’s exactly what @disneywizardsseries did for me! The inner child in me is beaming with happiness! I hope everyone tunes in!” (In this paraphrase, I tried to maintain the original sentiment while making it more conversational and easy to read.)
In the opening episode titled “Everything is Not What it Seems,” Gomez made a guest appearance where she brought her on-screen brother, played by Henrie, into contact with Billie, a young wizard in need of expert training to save the world. The actress from “Only Murders in the Building” will be seen in additional episodes during the first season, helping progress the storyline (exact number of appearances is yet to be specified).

Prior to the Los Angeles debut of the show in October, Emilia Pérez, the star, shared with The Hollywood Reporter that going back to Waverly Place felt akin to returning home. She humorously noted that when she showed it to her mother, she burst into laughter. Her mom exclaimed, “You two still have it,” suggesting that they both retain their on-screen chemistry. It seems that they complement each other well.
Back when we first donned our magical hats on the set of “Wizards of Waverly Place,” Gomez and I forged a bond that’s lasted through the years. We’ve shared plenty about it since then.
She shared, “For me, it’s vital to have someone in my life who knew me beforehand. My friends are wonderful people I’ve learned to love and rely on, but David was with me during my first taste of fame-like situations. He seems to look beyond that, telling me the truth as he sees it. This honesty appeals to me.
As a passionate gamer, I’ve had an exclusive chat with Scott Thomas and Jed Elinoff regarding the upcoming sequel series of “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.” They shared some intriguing insights about the plotline and why this moment in time is perfect for its revival.
Elinoff mentioned that they often discussed where their characters stood and how impactful David was to Selena, portrayed as a supportive brother figure. A significant scene in the pilot features Selena expressing her feelings about having David, needing him, and having him in her life. Additionally, Selena identifies David as the only one who could help a certain little girl, emphasizing the unique ability of a Russo to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. This concept struck a chord with Selena, David, and the creators, symbolizing a child in need of a Russo’s assistance.
The first nine episodes of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place are on Disney+ now.
