About Wizards Beyond Waverly Place

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is the spin-off of the popular Disney sitcom Wizards of the Waverly Place. It follows a grown-up Justin Russo training a young wizard, Billie. The show also shows characters from the original show occasionally, and fans have loved seeing Selena Gomez as Alex Russo again.

The first season of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place was a successful one, becoming the Disney Channel's most-streamed series premiere on Disney+. Many were skeptical if the spin-off would be able to live up to the hype of its predecessor, but it received 3.2 million global views within its first 12 days of streaming.

The series stars Janice LeAnn Brown as Billie, the young wizard who needs training. David Henrie reprises his role as Justin Russo and plays the wizard in charge of training Billie. Mimi Gianopulos joins the cast as Giada Russo, Justin's wife and the mother of Roman and Milo Russo. Other new cast members include Alkaio Thiele as Roman Russo and Max Matenko as Milo Russo, Justin and Giada's sons.

Maria Canals-Barrera reprises her role as Theresa Russo, Justin and Alex's mother, and David DeLuise returns as Jerry Russo, Justin and Alex's father. However, Theresa and Jerry are seen occasionally being guest characters. Selena Gomez returns as Alex Russo, the main character of Wizards of The Waverly Place, the one who won the family wand.

Just like Wizards of the Waverly Place was one of Disney Channel's biggest successes, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is shaping up to be one of Disney+'s biggest successes. Only time will tell if the spin-off will be as celebrated as the original show. As filming begins next month for the second season, fans are eager to see how the second season pans out. They are also excited to see more of Selena Gomez as Alex Russo.

All episodes of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place are streaming on Disney+, and the new season will be released both on Disney+ and the Disney Channel.
