Selena Gomez Returns As Alex Russo In Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Season 2

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place picks up years after the original series.

Currently, Justin Russo finds himself in the role of fatherhood, nurturing three budding wizards, one of whom is his own little girl. Simultaneously, he’s endeavoring to preserve the delicate balance within the magical realm. Undeniably, it’s a blend of nostalgia and pandemonium.

In an unexpected twist, I found myself face-to-screen with Selena Gomez popping up in the initial and concluding episodes – and boy, did it feel like old times as Alex Russo graced our gaming worlds once more!

Season 2 Is Official – And So Is Selena

On March 31, 2025, Disney officially announced that Season 2 of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is indeed happening! Filming started in April right here in sunny Los Angeles, and we can expect the new episodes to air this fall on both Disney Channel and Disney+. Needless to say, fans are absolutely thrilled!

Selena Gomez showed she’s all in by reposting David Henrie’s hype-filled message:

“WE’RE SO BACK. Season 2 is gonna be 🤯. If you had big questions about season 1, then strap in y’all.”

In the future, Selena will reprise her character as Alex Russo in a special guest appearance, and she also serves as a co-executive producer. The entire Russo family cast – Janice LeAnn Brown, Alkaio Thiele, Max Matenko, Taylor Cora, Mimi Gianopulos, and David Henrie – are set to return, promising even more enchanting moments.

What Else Is Confirmed?

The narrative centers around Justin Russo, who returns to the realm of magic in a mentoring role following a long absence. His sister Alex requests that he tutor the fledgling witch, Billie. The tale primarily revolves around Justin’s family – his wife Giada and their children Roman and Milo – as they delve into uncovering their hidden magical abilities.

At the heart of this season lies the training of these budding wizards as they gear up for the “Family Wizard Contest.” Meanwhile, an enigmatic danger surfaces, posing a potential disruption to the equilibrium of magic and the tranquility of the Russo household.

Additionally, we find Winter, who is Billie’s closest friend, along with Giada, Roman, and Milo among the verified characters. Jerry and Theresa Russo, Justin’s parents, are slated to make appearances as either main or supporting roles. Although some fan speculations point towards recurring roles such as Minister Bigelow McFigglehorn and Bella Bianchi, these have not yet been officially confirmed for season 2.

Still Just Rumors…

There’s been lots of chatter about competing wizard families and the potential comeback of cherished figures such as Max Russo – however, it’s all just speculation for now. The producers are being secretive, hinting only at a “mystifying” upcoming danger without providing further details.
