The Russo siblings are back to sprinkle some magic, and this time, it’s Wizards Beyond Waverly Place! That’s right, Selena Gomez and David Henrie are sliding back into their wizard robes for this spinoff series. And guess what? They’re not just waving wandsβ€”they’re calling the shots as executive producers too! 🎬✨

Selena, the queen of multitasking, will grace us with her presence in the first episode. Why just one, you ask? Because, apparently, wizards have schedules too. Meanwhile, David is sticking around like that piece of gum on the bottom of your shoeβ€”persistent and ever-present as a series regular.

So how did this magical mayhem come about? Well, it wasn’t during a mystical vision or some enchanted tea party (although that would’ve been fitting). Nope, this idea brewed over some classic wine nights. Yup, Selena, David, and David’s wife were busy clinking glasses and probably binging Disney+ when one of them shouted, “Wait! Why aren’t we making more Wizards?!”

And boom, a lightbulb went offβ€”or maybe it was just David spilling his wineβ€”but either way, they decided to pitch it to Disney. β€œIt took years of development,” David confessed. Translation: it took years of convincing Disney execs that wizards are way cooler than whatever they’re currently airing.

Selena, bless her nostalgic heart, said returning to her role felt like β€œcoming home again.” Imagine showing up to your childhood home after a decade away, but instead of your mom handing you cookies, you’re given a script and a magic wand. β€œI’m just so happy to dust off my wizard powers and give them to the next generation,” Selena cooed. Or, you know, she just needed to clear her wizard wardrobe for future projects. Either wayβ€”nostalgia points!

And about that first day on set? According to David, it was absolutely bananas. β€œIt was like no time had passed,” he said, as if they were stuck in some mystical time loop, forever doomed to live in a Disney sitcom. They heard β€œAction!” and immediately transformed back into their teenage selves. No awkward β€˜hey, remember how we were wizards once’ momentsβ€”just pure magical mayhem.

But the big question: Will this show have legs? As Selena wisely put it, β€œWe don’t know. But if people like it, we’ll see.” Ah yes, the classic Hollywood approachβ€”leave it to the fans. If the internet loves it (and let’s be real, they probably will), we’ll get more Russo family shenanigans. If not, well, at least we got this wine-inspired fever dream.

David, ever the optimist, believes this wizard universe has more to give. β€œIt’s such a fertile universe,” he said. Not sure if we’re planting crops or spinning spinoffs, but hey, we’ll take it.

Oh, and for all the hardcore Wizards fans out there? Disney Channel has already released some juicy behind-the-scenes action from the pilot. Go check it out if you want to see how the magic really happens (spoiler: it involves a lot of CGI).

Mark your calendars, grab your wands, and prepare your finest wizard cloaks because Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is dropping on Disney Channel and Disney+ later this year! ✨
