Selena Gomez and David Henrie will star in a ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ reboot.
Selena Gomez and David Henrie are dusting off their old wands. The duo, who played brother and sister in Wizards of Waverly Place, are set to reunite for a reboot of the beloved Disney Channel series.
Deadline reported today that Disney Branded Television has ordered a pilot for the sequel, which Gomez and Henrie will executive produce and star in.
While Henrie will reprise his role as Justin Russo throughout the series, Gomez will only return as his quick-witted younger sister Alex Russo for the first episode. The show will also feature Call Me Kat star Alkaio Thiele as Justin’s oldest son Roman Russo and American Princess star Mimi Gianopulos as Justin’s wife Giada.
The reboot is set to follow Justin, who, like his father, abandoned his wizard powers to live a normal life with his wife and two sons. However, he must embrace his magical past when a powerful young wizard named Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) shows up at his door in need of training, which is vital for the future of the Wizard World.
