Selena Gomez, David Henrie on Returning to ‘Waverly Place’: “It Did Feel Like Going Home”
More than a decade after their time on Wizards of Waverly Place came to an end, Selena Gomez and David Henrie are returning to their magical roots for a sequel series.
Wizards Beyond Waverly Place follows an adult Justin Russo (Henrie), who has chosen to lead a normal, mortal life with his family; that is, until his sister Alex (Gomez) introduces him to Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown), a wizard-in-training who needs Justin’s mentorship.
“It did feel like going home,” Gomez told The Hollywood Reporter at the show’s Los Angeles premiere on Monday. “It was so funny because when I showed it to my mom, she literally just died laughing. She goes, ‘You two just still have it.’ Because I think we bring that out in each other.”
