The Russo siblings are back to teleport everyone back to their childhood.
Selena Gomez shared a first look at the upcoming "Wizards Of Waverly Place" spinoff series at Disney's upfront event Tuesday. The title, "Wizards Beyond Waverly Place," was also revealed.
Disney shared two photos including one of Gomez and co-star David Henrie while reprising their roles as siblings Alex and Justin Russo. The image shows the pair holding wands inside the classic family lair of the Waverly Sub Station in New York.
Gomez and Henrie serve as executive producers for the show alongside Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer of Disney Channels, and writers Jed Elinoff ("Raven's Home") and Scott Thomas ("Paris Hilton's My New BFF").
First-look photo reveals Justin Russo's new family
The second photo shows Justin's new family, his partner Giada Russo (played by actress Mimi Gianopulos), and onscreen sons Roman Russo and Milo Russo (played by young actors Alkaio Thiele and Max Matenko, respectively).
