Selena Gomez and David Henrie, stars of the famous Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place, are teaming up to build the basis for the show’s magical return.

Gomez and Henrie recently shared an Instagram photo that sparked a commotion among admirers. The photo depicts them eating dinner with the new cast of the Wizards of Waverly Place reboot, with the tagline “Let’s make some [magic].”

While Gomez will executive produce the pilot, Henrie will return as Justin Russo, a wizard in training.

The resurrection, which is now in its pilot phase, will introduce a new generation of young wizards to the Waverly Place realm. Details about the plot and new characters remain unknown, but one thing is certain: the magic will return.

The announcement of the comeback prompted enthusiasm among fans, who have been clamouring for a return to Waverly Place since the show’s cancellation in 2012. Gomez and Henrie have also expressed their excitement for the project.

In an interview with People magazine, Henrie commented, “It’s been 10 years since we’ve been on the air, and the fan base is just as strong as ever. We’re so excited to be able to give them something new and exciting.”

The original Wizards of Waverly Place aired for four seasons from 2007 to 2012 and became a cultural sensation. The sitcom chronicled the Russo family, three adolescent siblings who struggle balance their everyday lives with their hidden magical skills. The show received numerous accolades, including an Emmy Award for Outstanding Children’s Programme, and launched the careers of Gomez and Henrie.

With Gomez and Henrie engaged, the new show has the potential to win over a new generation of fans.
