Guess who’s back with a bag of magic tricks and a dash of mischief? None other than the enchanting Selena Gomez, stirring up the cauldron of nostalgia at the Disney Upfront in the heart of the Big Apple!
Gather ’round, fellow wizards and muggles alike, for the grand reveal of the title of the new spellbinding saga! Drumroll, please… Introducing “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place”! Yep, you heard it right. Our favorite sibling sorcerers are breaking out the wands once more for an epic reunion!
But wait, there’s more magic in the mix! Selena Gomez, the queen of quips and spells, will grace our screens as the illustrious Alex Russo in guest star fashion. And hold onto your pointy hats, because she’s not just bringing her acting chops—she’s donning the producer’s hat too, alongside her on-screen bro David Henrie, who’s not only reprising his role as Justin Russo but also flexing his executive producer muscles!
Picture this: Justin Russo, now a fully-fledged adult (sort of), opting for a mundane mortal life with his quirky clan—Giada, Roman, and Milo. But when Alex breezes in with a magical mess on her broomstick, it’s up to Justin to dust off his spellbook and mentor the fledgling wizard, all while tackling mundane chores and saving the Wizard World from chaos. Talk about multitasking!
David Henrie, our trusty Justin Russo, is not only wielding his wand on-screen but also behind the scenes as an executive producer. And brace yourselves, because Selena Gomez is making a grand entrance in the pilot episode, sprinkling her star power like confetti!
Hold onto your enchanted brooms, because we’ve got a fresh batch of faces joining the magical mayhem! Janice LeAnn Brown is stepping into the spotlight as Billie, with Mimi Gianopulos adding a dash of magic as Giada Russo. And let’s not forget the pint-sized sorcerers: Alkaio Thiele as Roman Russo and Max Matenko as Milo Russo, ready to cast their adorable spells.
But wait, there’s more! Brace yourselves for the bubbly, quirky, oversharing best friend of Billie—Winter, played by the newcomer Taylor Cora. Because what’s a magical adventure without a sidekick with a penchant for oversharing potion recipes?
And in case you’re wondering, the magical mischief has already begun! David Henrie couldn’t contain his excitement, taking to social media with a selfie featuring his pint-sized co-stars, teasing us with a glimpse of the mystical mayhem to come.
So, fellow magic enthusiasts, mark your calendars, charge your wands, and summon your familiars, because “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” is brewing up a storm, coming soon to a Disney Channel and Disney+ near you! Let the magical mayhem commence! 🪄✨
