Prepare for a magical adventure as the highly anticipated series “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” premieres on Disney Channel (DStv Channel 303) on Monday, 27 January at 17:00 CAT.
The series 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 cast includes “Wizards of Waverly Place” alumni David Henrie (as Justin Russo) alongside newcomer 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). Selena Gomez (as Alex Russo) will guest star in the first episode.
“Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” has Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas serve as writers and executive producers, along with executive producers Gary Marsh, Jonas Agin, Selena Gomez
and David Henrie. Andy Fickman directed and executive-produced the pilot and will direct multiple episodes. Other Disney Channel alumni involved in the series are Raven-Symoné (“Raven’s Home”) and Danielle Fishel (“Girl Meets World”) taking on director roles for episodes in season one.
Leading up to the series premiere, you can catch a marathon of the original series “Wizards of Waverly Place” and the 2009 movie “Wizards of Waverly Place – The Movie” on Disney Channel on Sunday, 26 January at 10:15 CAT. In the film, Alex (Selena Gomez) is forced to go on holiday with her parents. Clearly reluctant to be on this vacation, she wishes her parents had never met - with disastrous results. Spells and sorcery abound in this fun-filled movie. This is followed by a marathon of Season 4 of the series from 11:55 CAT – 16:05 CAT.
