The Russo family will return for one last spell-binding iteration of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.
Season 2 ended on quite a cliffhanger as Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) was reunited with all of her childhood memories that had been erased before she began living with Justin Russo (David Henrie) and his family — including the fact that Alex (Gomez) is her mother.
Viewers may also remember that Billie’s father is the former dark wizard Damian Pennwolf, who has yet to be formally introduced. At the end of the second season, Damian’s father Lord Morsus forces Billie to open a rift to the world of dark magic as part of a prophecy. Alex jumps through the portal with Lord Morsus and closes it from the other side to save everyone else, setting the stage for the rest of the Russos to go after her in these final episodes.
The Wizards revival has been quite popular for Disney, ranking among the top five titles overall with kids 6–11, teens 12–17 and adults 18–24 in views.
The series stars David Henrie (as Justin Russo), Janice LeAnn Brown (as Billie), Alkaio Thiele (as Roman Russo), Max Matenko (as Milo Russo), Taylor Cora (as Winter) and Mimi Gianopulos (as Giada Russo).
Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas serve as writers and executive producers, along with executive producers Gary Marsh, Jonas Agin, Rick Williams, Gomez and Henrie. Wizards of Waverly Place was created by Todd Greenwald.
