Sharing a teaser video on Instagram, the makers wrote, “Get ready for one last spell. Wizards Beyond Waverly Place returns in a special four-part event, premiering this summer on Disney+ and Disney Channel. Including a can’t-miss first episode directed by Selena Gomez.”

The video shows Selena bidding farewell to Justin (David Henrie) for one last time.

Created by Todd J. Greenwald, Wizards of Waverly Place aired on Disney Channel for four seasons from October 2007 to January 2012. The series follows the lives of three wizard siblings — Alex, Justin and Max Russo (played by Jake T. Austin) — who live in an apartment on Waverly Place in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village.

While the first and second seasons focussed on the siblings navigating challenges in their everyday world, the third and fourth seasons delved into a family competition.

“Billie, still reeling from losing Alex at the end of Season 2, discovers that the only way to rescue her mother is to reunite with her long-lost father. As her family bands together to find Alex, Billie realizes that their combined power is the only way the Russos can defeat the evil plaguing them,” reads the official logline of the show.

Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas serve as writers and executive producers along with executive producers Gary Marsh, Jonas Agin, Gomez and Henrie. Andy Fickman directed and executive-produced the pilot and will direct multiple episodes.
