Selena Gomez Returns to ‘Wizards Beyond Waverly Place’ for Season 2

What’s that? A hat? No, it’s Selena Gomez getting ready to work up some more magic! The singer-actress teased on Thursday (June 26) that she’s returning to Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.

The star, who portrayed Alex Russo on Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place, shared a photo from the spinoff’s set of her hand — complete with glittering manicure — holding her red wizard wand on Instagram Stories. She wrote over it in white text, “Just feels right..”

But that wasn’t all. After a Story teasing her hit Hulu show Only Murders in the Building, Gomez offered yet another photo from the Wizards set on Friday (June 27), confirming her return for the second season. In the snap, she sits alongside fellow Wizards of Waverly Place star David Henrie, who plays her brother Justin, and who stars in the spinoff. “We want to do this forever… luv you brudder,” she wrote over the photo.

Disney has confirmed the news of her return as a guest star for the second season of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. According to the synopsis for the sophomore year of the show, young wizard Billie (played by Janice LeAnn Brown) — who Alex sent to live with Justin in season one, struggles with not being the only wizard in the home after Roman Russo (Alkaio Thiele) and Milo Russo’s (Max Matenko) magical abilities surface. The new season will also see Justin training the three young wizards for the Family Wizard Competition, all while the Russo clan faces a new threat that could change everything.

Gomez and Henrie will executive produce the second season, which will arrive in the fall on Disney+ and Disney Channel.
