We were hesitant about The Wizards of Waverly Place reboot, but we’ve always been honest about that. It’s nostalgia and we were stuck in nostalgia and loved living there.
But today, we have to admit that we got excited about the reboot as a first look was released. At Disney’s Upfronts, the streamer announced that the spinoff will be called Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.
Two first look pictures were also released.
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.”
David Henrie is joined by Janice LeAnn Brown , Taylor Cora, Alkaio Thiele, and Mimi Gianopulos.
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.
