Look, The Wizards of Waverly Place is an institution – one that we love and will always get behind a reunion for. But hey, a sequel is definitely something that we didn’t have on our bingo card for 2024. But will we take it? ABSOLUTELY.
It was announced to today that a sequel to the hit Disney Channel show is coming and the cast has already been set. David Henrie will be reprising his iconic role of Justin Russo and be a series regular. Selena Gomez will be appearing in the pilot, reviving her role as Alex Russo.
And we know, you’re wondering who is in the rest of the cast?
Janice LeAnn Brown, Alkaio Thiele and Mimi Gianopulos have all boarded the sequel as series regulars.
Now who is behind the sequel? Well, they’re the team behind another one, Ravens Home (which as done exceptionally well for the channel) – Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas. Like us you probably have so many questions. Like you know – what could a sequel possibly be about?
The sequel picks up, “after a mysterious incident at WizTech, where an adult Justin Russo has left his wizard powers behind, opting for a normal, human life with his wife (Gianopulos) and two sons (one of whom will be played by Thiele). But he gets a surprise when a powerful young wizard (Brown) in need of training shows up at his door… and Justin must embrace his past to ensure the future of the Wizard World.”
In addition to Elinoff and Thomas – Selena Gomez, David Henrie, Gary Marsh and Andy Fickman will be EP’s on the project.
The original series aired on the Disney Channel for four seasons between 2007 and 2012, and also sparked the Disney Channel original movie Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie.
Are you excited for the sequel? We have to admit, we’ll be watching!
