About the sequel titled Wizards
According to Deadline, the upcoming sequel to Wizards of Waverly Place, titled Wizards, will feature the return of Gomez and Henrie, who played siblings on the original show.
Selena Gomez, who portrayed Alex Russo in the television series, will make a guest appearance, while Henrie will reprise his role as Justin Russo in a regular capacity. The show will also introduce new faces, including Janice LeAnn Brown, Alkaio Thiele, Max Matenko, and Mimi Gianopulos.
The original Wizards of Waverly Place series, which aired from 2007 to 2012, followed a family of wizards. Deadline reports that the upcoming installment will focus on Justin, who is being pursued by his family (played by Thiele, Matenko, and Gianopulos) and leads a normal, non-wizard life. However, this is interrupted when his sister Alex arrives with Brown, a young wizard whom he must train.
Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas, who wrote the successful Disney Channel spinoff series Raven's Home from That's So Raven, are writing the new series and will also serve as executive producers. Production is set to begin in April, according to Deadline.
In January, Deadline reported that Disney was developing a sequel to the hit show, and the official Disney Channel Instagram account teased the new series with a close-up image of a Wizards pilot script with a toy wand placed over it.
