The beloved Disney Channel series 'Wizards of Waverly Place' is making a comeback with a new spin-off titled 'Wizards Beyond Waverly Place,' co-produced by original stars Selena Gomez and David Henrie. The series premiered on October 29 and follows an adult Justin Russo, played by Henrie, as he navigates life without magic while mentoring a new wizard, Billie, portrayed by Janice LeAnn Brown.

The show has received a warm reception, described as a 'love letter' to fans, and aims to capture the spirit and values of the original series. The premiere gathered former and new cast members earlier, with Gomez making a glamorous appearance and emphasizing the importance of voting by casting her ballot on the way to the event. The revival is considered a meaningful project for Gomez and Henrie, who have remained close friends since the original series ended in 2012.
