Months after Disney Channel officially confirmed the arrival of a sequel of the beloved ‘Wizards of Waverly Place,’ a new title has finally been revealed. At Disney’s 2024 upfront presentation, Selena Gomez announced that the upcoming sequel series will be titled ‘Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.’ Additionally, the channel released a few first-look pictures featuring the main characters, Alex and Justin as well as the new members of the Russo family.

When Justin’s sister Alex brings Billie to his home seeking help, Justin realizes he must dust off his magical skills to mentor the wizard-in-training while also juggling his everyday responsibilities — and safeguarding the future of the Wizard World.”
