The fan-favorite family comedy starred Selena Gomez as Alex Russo, who navigated her teenage life as a wizard while surrounded by her normal friends, classmates, and teachers. Of course, her family members were also wizards, including her older brother Justin, played by David Henrie. The show was cancelled in 2012, but now we have some news.

The internet has been going absolutely ballistic after David Henrie shared a photo on Instagram of a script for a show called Wizards. In the same photo, you’ll see a pen that says Wizards of Waverly Place. Yep, we’re getting a REBOOT.

Henrie said in the caption, “The Russos are excited to become a part of your family, once again, but we’ve grown 😊 2024, the year magic comes back!” EEP!

We found an article regarding the reboot/sequel series from Deadline, which takes a deeper dive into the series itself. It follows along with now-grownup Justin Russo, who has chosen to leave his life of wizardry behind to live a normal, human life alongside his wife and two sons. However, this life plan is upheaved when a “powerful young wizard in training” shows up at his door and needs his help. In order to help her, he has to pick up the wand again and tune in to his past self.

Gomez and Henrie are the executive producers and will star in the series, but we’ll also see other familiar faces, too. These include Janice LeAnn Brown (Disney’s Just Roll with It), Alkaio Thiele (Call Me Kat) and Mimi Gianopulos (American Princess), Gary Marsh (Disney’s Descendants: The Rise of Red), and Andy Fickman (Race to Witch Mountain).

We can’t wait for more details on this! We’ll make sure to keep you updated along the way, so make sure to follow along for more Disney news.
