Wizards of Waverly Place fans were absolutely thrilled when Wizards Beyond Waverly Place was announced and it turns out that the continuation is closer than we thought. The series will officially premiere with two episodes on Tuesday, October 29 at 8 PM EDT on Disney Channel, and the first eight episodes will be available on both Disney+ and Disney Channel On Demand the next day, Wednesday, October 30.

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place follows an adult Justin Russo, who has chosen to lead a normal, mortal life with his family, Giada, Roman and Milo. When Justin’s sister Alex brings Billie to his home seeking help, Justin realizes he must dust off his magical skills to mentor the wizard-in-training while also juggling his everyday responsibilities — and safeguarding the future of the Wizard World.

The series will have David Henrie and Selena Gomez returning as Justin and Alex Russo along with the duo executive producing. Janice LeAnn Brown, Alkaio Thiele, Max Matenko, Taylor Cora, and Mimi Gianopulos will also star.

As a fun surprise, Raven-Symoné and Danielle Fishel are set to direct episodes in season one! After the Disney Channel premiere, two new episodes, including one that is Halloween-themed, will air on Wednesday, October 30. Following that, episode premieres will shift to Fridays starting November 8 at 8 PM EDT, with two episodes weekly.
