It’s still just as magical!

The Wizards of Waverly Place series aired on Disney Channel from 2007 to 2012 and quickly became one of the channel’s most popular shows, alongside Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. It starred Alex Russo (played by Selena Gomez), a teenager with magical powers who had to juggle her witchcraft training with her life as a student.

Twelve years later, the spin-off Wizards Beyond Waverly Place was released.

Selena Gomez made a guest appearance, and fans can look forward to a healthy dose of nostalgia!

The new series Wizards Beyond Waverly Place stars Justin Russo, Alex’s older brother, who has decided to lead a mortal life alongside his partner Giada and their two boys. His tranquility is disrupted when he is visited by Billie, a young girl sent by Alex to convince him to return to witchcraft.

David Henrie reprises his role as Justin Russo, while Mimi Gianopulos plays Giada, and Janice LeAnn Brown plays the rebellious Billie.

Fans can also expect several nods to the old series with the return of Jake T. Austin as Max, Maria Canals-Barrera as Theresa, and David DeLuise as Jerry.
