Selena Gomez and David Henrie team together for Wizards Beyond Waverly Place remake

 

Selena Gomez and David Henrie have officially reunited for Disney's highly anticipated sequel, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.

The first look at the revival, published on Friday, provides a nostalgic glimpse behind the scenes of the iconic program, which returns 12 years after the original series ended.

The teaser shows Gomez returning as Alex Russo and Henrie repeating his role as Justin Russo.

David DeLuise makes a cameo appearance as Jerry Russo, adding to the excitement. "This is where it all started," she says in the video, delighted to be back on set with her old castmates. She says, "We're home."

Selena's role as an executive producer is critical to the remake, however her on-screen appearance will be restricted to the first episode.

The forthcoming sequel series will follow David Henrie's character, Justin Russo, who has settled into a regular life with his family, including wife Giada (Mimi Gianopulos) and their boys Roman (Alkaio Thiele) and Milo (Max Matenko).

However, his calm existence is upended when his sister Alex, played by Selena, arrives with a young wizard-in-training, Billie LeAnn Brown (Billie), seeking assistance.

The new trailer features a sweet first look at Gomez and Henrie reunited on set.

The video begins with Gomez cheerfully welcoming her co-star and saying, "We're home."

He then takes visitors on a tour of the rebuilt Russo residence, highlighting how much has changed and how the Russos have matured over the years.

The trailer also features Billie, the show's new star, whom Henrie characterizes as "rebellious, stubborn, and sarcastic."

Gomez admits the parallel with her own persona, adding, "Sounds like someone else I know," to which Henrie answers playfully, "Haha, like me, I get it."
