    Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, the spinoff to the Disney Channel show Wizards of Waverly Place, is gearing up to release Season 2. The Season 1 finale left fans on a cliffhanger after Justin Russo’s children gained their powers and were told they would have to compete in the family wizard competition. This left fans wondering if they would get to see that play out. Selena Gomez confirmed that Season 2 is now in production after sharing a photo on set.

    Read on to find out what the show is conjuring up for another season.

    Has Wizards Beyond Waverly Place been renewed for Season 2?

    Yes! You can have all you wanted in your wildest dreams because Disney Television announced on Monday, March 31, that the Russos will be back for Season 2. It’s no surprise given the first episode of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place was Disney Channel’s most-watched series premiere ever on Disney+, driving 3.2 million views globally in the first 12 days. The premiere episode gained 2.3 million views and 320 thousand hours to date after being posted on YouTube. 

    Series star and executive producer David Henrie said in a statement, “I’m overwhelmed by all the love for the series and ready to keep serving this new generation of Wizards fans with more Russo magic, while continuing to deliver a big warm hug to the original fan! So many surprises in store for this second season. It’s going to be big, so stay tuned!”

    How does Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Season 1 end?

    Alex Russo (Selena Gomez) makes an unexpected visit to her brother, Justin (Henrie), and his wife Giada’s (Mimi Gianopulos) house. She claims she is there to visit him, but also wants to know how Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown), the troubled wizard that she dropped off at the beginning of the season, is. They tell Alex that Billie is fine, despite her leaving in a vortex in the previous episode. When Justin and Giada enter the kitchen, Alex conjures up Minister McFigglehorn (Kirsten Vangsness) from the Wizard Academy with her wand and tells her that Billie is safe at Justin’s house. The hunt for Billie and Justin’s son, Roman (Alkaio Thiele), who left in the vortex with her, is on. Once they find the children, Alex and Justin are faced with a hooded evil figure. When the figure appears in the Russo house to try and take Billie’s powers, Roman jumps in front of her and his brother, Milo, who both get struck by the villain’s wand. The sons both get powers from this, and then the Minister of WizTech reveals that they must compete in the family wizard competition when they are of age. This leaves Billie wondering if this includes her since she is an honorary Russo.

    Who may return for Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Season 2?

    Henrie, along with Gianopulos, Theile, and Brown, are all confirmed to return. Also returning are Max Matenko (who plays the youngest son, Milo) and Taylor Cora (who plays Winter, Roman and Billie’s best friend). Gomez, who serves as co-executive producer with Henrie, appeared in the premiere and the finale. She confirmed her appearance in the upcoming season after sharing a photo on Instagram on June 26.

    The photo featured Gomez’s hand holding Alex Russo’s red wand on the set of Justin Russo’s house. “Just feels right,” she captioned the post.

    David Deluise and Maria Canals-Barrera, who played Alex and Justin’s parents, Jerry and Theresa, also had cameos in Season 1. They could guest star in Season 2.

    When is Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Season 2 returning?

    The Disney Channel show, created by Todd Greenwald, began production in early April in Los Angeles, California. Season 2 will premiere this fall, according to a press release. An exact premiere date has not yet been announced. Check back for updates.

    What is Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Season 2 about?

    In season two of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, Billie grapples with the fact that being part of the Russo family might be more complicated than she thought — especially now that she’s not the only wizard in the house. Thanks to Roman and Milo’s new magical powers, Justin is now tasked with training three young wizards for the Family Wizard Competition. As the stakes rise inside and outside the family, a mysterious new threat emerges—one that could unravel the Russos forever.

    Where can you watch Wizards Beyond Waverly Place?

    All of Season 1 is now streaming on Disney+ and available on Disney Channel On Demand.
