More than a decade after its last episode aired, the beloved 2000s series Wizards of Waverly Place is making a grand comeback. Streaming now on Disney+, Waverly Place: The New Wizards picks up the magical tale of the Russo family, with some familiar faces returning to delight longtime fans.
The Beloved Cast Makes a Comeback
For this highly anticipated sequel, David Henrie reprises his role as Justin Russo, now taking center stage as the story’s lead. In this new chapter, Justin has stepped away from his magical roots following a mysterious incident at WizTech. He’s chosen to live a quiet, human life with his wife and two sons, leaving his wizarding days behind.
But peace doesn’t last long when Billie, a young and powerful witch played by Janice LeAnn Brown, unexpectedly arrives at his doorstep seeking guidance. With her raw talent and untrained magic, Billie reminds Justin of the responsibility he once bore. Drawn back into the world of wizards, Justin must mentor her to ensure the survival of their magical legacy.
Selena Gomez Returns—Briefly
Fans of the original series will be thrilled to see Selena Gomez return as Alex Russo, Justin’s mischievous younger sister. While her appearance is limited to the premiere episode, Alex’s quirky personality leaves an unforgettable mark. Her brief cameo serves as a passing of the torch to the next generation of magical talent, embodied by Billie, whose spunky nature echoes Alex’s charm.
Nostalgia for Longtime Fans
In addition to David Henrie and Selena Gomez, David DeLuise, who played Jerry Russo, the warm-hearted patriarch of the family, also makes a nostalgic return. He appears in episode seven, much to the delight of devoted fans who grew up with the show. These callbacks to the original cast create a sense of continuity while setting the stage for new adventures.
