Magic is in the air as Disney Channel unveiled a first look at the highly anticipated sequel series, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, during the premiere of Descendants: The Rise of Red. The sneak peek offered fans a glimpse behind the scenes, featuring the show’s lead cast and familiar faces.
Picking up where the beloved original left off, the series follows adult Justin Russo (David Henrie) as he navigates a seemingly ordinary life with his family. But when his sister Alex (guest star Selena Gomez) brings a young wizard-in-training, Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown), into their home, Justin is forced to rediscover his magical abilities. Balancing family, everyday life, and the protection of the Wizard World becomes his new normal.
Joining Henrie and Brown is a talented ensemble cast including Alkaio Thiele as Roman Russo, Max Matenko as Milo Russo, Taylor Cora as Winter, and Mimi Gianopulos as Giada Russo. Fans will also be delighted to see the return of David DeLuise as the iconic Jerry Russo.
Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is co-created and executive-produced by Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas, alongside executive producers Gary Marsh, Jonas Agin, Selena Gomez, and David Henrie. Andy Fickman serves as director and executive producer.
The series is set to premiere on Disney Channel and Disney+ later this year.
