Wizards of Waverly Place consumed the late 2000s for five years, spanning four magical seasons between 2007 and 2012 and spawning one movie in 2009. Disney's hit Wizards series followed the Russo Family as Jerry Russo (David DeLuise) trained his three children, Justin (David Henrie), Max (Jake T. Austin), and Alex (Selena Gomez), to prepare them for their family wizard competition...

It's a magical day for Wizards Beyond Waverly Place fans. Disney+ and Disney Channel have renewed the children's comedy series for a second season.

The renewal comes just over a month after Wizards Beyond Waverly Place aired its Season 1 finale on Disney+. "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!" said executive producer and series star David Henrie in a statement. "So many surprises in store for this second season. It’s going to be big, so stay tuned!" The new season will begin production next month in Los Angeles.

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is set more than a decade after the events of the original series, Wizards of Waverly Place, following "an adult Justin Russo, who has chosen to lead a normal,...

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, the highly-anticipated Wizards of Waverly Place reboot, hasn't brought back these 8 characters from the original show, and it's unclear whether some of them will come back at all. Based on Alex and Justin Russo's ages, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is set approximately 15 years after the original show, and plenty has happened since Wizards of Waverly Place. Most notably, Justin (David Henrie) married a mortal woman named Giada and had two sons, Milo and Roman, after he was fired as headmaster of WizTech and walked away from his magic powers.

Justin's family is the focus of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, a major change from Wizards of Waverly Place, which focused primarily on Alex. Selena Gomez's Alex Russo is still part of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place's cast of characters, although she is guest starring rather than having a leading role. Jerry Russo, another member of the Russo family tree,...

The highly-anticipated Wizards of Waverly Place spin-off series Wizards Beyond Waverly Place has begun streaming on Disney+, and the show's first 9 episodes raise many questions, including how protagonist Justin Russo still has his wizard powers. Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is a brand-new era for the Russo family, and there have been many changes since Wizards of Waverly Place. Some of the biggest updates include Justin's marriage to a mortal woman named Giada and the birth of his two sons, Roman (the older) and Milo (the younger).

Currently, Justin's sons don't have magic powers, but Justin does. The latter is particularly surprising based on the family wizard rule from Wizards of Waverly Place. Each wizard family participates in the Wizard Competition, which determines the sibling who will remain a wizard. In Wizards of Waverly Place, Alex won, meaning Alex should be the sole wizard among the Russo siblings. However, an exception...

Wizards of Waverly Place puts the spotlight on the Russo family, a complex group of Wizards and mortals who have a unique relationship with magic compared to most other wizards and witches. The show first began airing on the Disney Channel in 2007, and it saw the main character, Alex Russo, played by Selen Gomez grow from a young and inexperienced witch into a powerful and knowledgeable hero who was able to win the right to keep her powers.

Within the world of magic set up in the show, children and teenagers are able to wield magic when they are young, but once they reach maturity, the family magic needs to be granted to just one child in order to make them a full witch or wizard. But, when it comes to the Russo's their magic heritage gets complicated as Jerry initially had the family powers, but later passed them to his brother,...

The first 9 episodes of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, the highly-anticipated Wizards of Waverly Place spin-off series, are now streaming on Disney+, and these are the 8 biggest reveals from the show's new episodes. Wizards Beyond Waverly Place focuses on Justin Russo, the oldest of the Russo siblings, although there are a number of Russo family members among Wizards Beyond Waverly Place's cast of characters. The reboot is set about 15 years after Wizards of Waverly Place, based on Justin Russo's age in Wizard's Beyond Waverly Place.

Given this major jump forward in time, numerous significant changes have taken place in the Russo family. While many of these changes have happened to Justin as the protagonist of the spin-off show, there were several surprising updates to the Russo family revealed in the show's first 9 episodes. Of all the reveals so far, these 8 represent the biggest.
