Selena Gomez is Back as Alex Russo: Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Finale Gets a Sprinkle of Magic and Sass

Buy Me A Coffee

Selena Gomez is making a magical comeback! The queen of sass, sparkle, and spells is reprising her iconic role as Alex Russo for the season finale of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.

The now 32-year-old actress and executive producer (yes, sheโ€™s collecting titles like Alex collects spells) decided to sprinkle some Disney Channel nostalgia back into our lives. Selena first waved her wand in the season one pilot, introducing a new young wizard while giving fans a solid dose of Russo charm. Now, sheโ€™s coming back to close out the season, and letโ€™s be honest, sheโ€™s the fairy godmother this show needed.

Selenaโ€™s Big Reveal
In true Selena style, she broke the internetโ€”or at least a portion of itโ€”by casually dropping the news on social media. โ€œNOTHING will ever beat making little kids laughโ€ฆ thank you @disneywizardsseries for making the little girl in me so happy!! Hope you guys watch!! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿช„,โ€ she captioned a carousel of photos, which, letโ€™s face it, were more iconic than a spell gone hilariously wrong.

The post featured her TV brother David Henrie (Justin Russo, still looking like he reads every spellbook cover to cover), the young stars Max Matenko and Taylor Cora, and a cast-and-crew group shot that radiated โ€œWe did this!โ€ energy.

Behind the Wand
If youโ€™re wondering what magical chaos Alex Russo is up to in this finale, Selena shared a sneak peek of the episodeโ€™s script. Titled โ€œNigh Is Now!โ€, the episode is penned by showrunners Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas, with directing duties handled by Andy Fickman. Yes, the same guy who directed the pilot is back, probably because no one else understands Alex Russoโ€™s level of snark quite like him.

Selena also teased fans in her Instagram story: โ€œHope you guys have been watching on Disney+ causeโ€ฆ.โ€ Honestly, that cliffhanger is enough to send us into a wizardโ€™s duel over who gets to binge the series first.

The Russo Revival Energy
Letโ€™s not forget the Russo sibling reunion happening here. David Henrie, a.k.a. Mr. Overachiever Wizard, is back by Selenaโ€™s side. We can only hope their sibling banter is still sharp enough to cut through a spellbinding portal.

And those young stars? Max Matenko and Taylor Cora better buckle up because sharing the screen with Alex Russo is like playing Quidditch with a professional seekerโ€”you better bring your A-game.

The Magic Returns
So, why is this such a big deal? Because Wizards of Waverly Place isnโ€™t just a show; itโ€™s a cultural reset. Selena returning to the series feels like someone casting a โ€œRewind to the Good Old Daysโ€ spell on our childhoods.

Mark your calendars and grab some popcorn because the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place finale isnโ€™t just TVโ€”itโ€™s a magical event. And if Alex Russoโ€™s involved, you know itโ€™ll be as chaotic, hilarious, and heartwarming as a family spell gone wrong.

โœจ๐Ÿ’œ Stay magical!
