Today, Disney Channel announced a series greenlight for “Wizards<\/strong><\/em>” (working title), a continuation of the Emmy\u00ae Award-winning “Wizards of Waverly Place<\/strong><\/em>,” one of the most beloved franchises in the network’s history. From Disney Branded Television, production on the new series begins next month in Los Angeles and is slated to premiere later this year on Disney Channel and Disney+.<\/p>\n

Aimed at kids and their families, the new series reunites two-time Emmy and Golden Globe\u00ae Award-nominated Selena Gomez and David Henrie as Alex and Justin Russo, respectively, who also serve as executive producers. Gomez will guest star in the premiere episode, while Henrie will appear in a leading series-regular role. New series regular Max Matenko (“Platonic<\/em>“) plays Justin’s youngest son, Milo, and joins the previously announced cast, including Janice LeAnn Brown (Disney’s “Just Roll with It<\/em>“) in the lead role as a young, powerful wizard Billie; Alkaio Thiele (“Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends<\/em>“) as Justin’s oldest son, Roman; and Mimi Gianopulos (“Rutherford Falls<\/em>“) as Justin’s wife, Giada.<\/p>
