Selena Gomez and David Henrie to Reprise ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ Roles in Pilot for Sequel

Selena Gomez and David Henrie will reprise their roles as Alex and Justin Russo in an ordered pilot of a 'Wizards of Waverly Place' sequel.

Disney Channel has ordered a pilot for a Wizards of Waverly Place sequel, with both Selena Gomez and David Henrie reprising their roles as Justin and Alex Russo. Per Variety, Henrie will executive produce the potential series, which would pick up after a “mysterious incident at WizTech” where Justin Russo decided to leave his wizard powers behind for a “normal human life” with his wife (Mimi Gianopulos) and two sons (one played by Alkaio Thiele). (DeLuise hosts the Wizards of Waverly Pod about their time on the series with Jennifer Stone, who played Gomez’s character’s kooky best friend, Harper.)
