by

As a devoted fan who has grown up with the magic of Wizards of Waverly Place, I am overjoyed to witness the heartwarming friendship between David Henrie and Selena Gomez that has spanned from their teenage years to adulthood. The bond they share, forged on the sets of Disney Channel’s beloved series, is a testament to their sincerity towards each other, a connection that remains unscathed by Gomez’s international fame.

David Henrie attributes their enduring friendship with Selena Gomez to their genuine feelings for each other. Despite her global stardom, stemming from their shared childhood experiences on the sets of Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place, they have developed a lasting bond.

I’ve shared with People, “It’s simply magical! Amidst her extraordinary achievements, our bond remains unshaken. There’s something indescribable about us – we just keep it real together.

Henrie shared that their friendship has endured over time because it’s always been sincere and they were friends even before either of them gained fame. Reflecting on his authentic connection with the influential figure behind Rare Beauty, he mused, “I believe there’s a rare kind of liberation in that which is hard to find.

Alongside Henrie and Gomez, not only do they share a friendship, but they are also joining forces for a new series, “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place,” which is a sequel to their earlier show, “Wizards of Waverly Place.” This upcoming television series will hit screens on October 29th. In this story, Henrie reprises his role as Justin Russo, Alex Russo’s brother, who attempts to maintain a normal family life. However, when Alex (Gomez) encounters a young wizard named Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown), Justin is drawn back into the magical world to lend assistance.

In my role as a lifestyle expert, I’m delighted to share the organic evolution of our sequel series concept. Over the years, I’ve had countless casual dinner-table discussions with Gomez. Our bond was undeniable, and we couldn’t help but admire the dynamic of the sibling duo on the original show. These conversations often drifted towards contemplating the potential paths for our characters in the future. Eventually, we felt compelled to propose this idea to Disney, and we were thrilled when they not only received it warmly but also swiftly gave their approval and the greenlight for the series to move forward.

The upcoming series is designed to appeal not just to longtime fans, but also to those joining in more recently. Henrie noted that viewers can anticipate numerous callbacks to the original series, along with fresh characters and story arcs.

Alongside their roles, David Henrie and Selena Gomez are also involved as executive producers in this upcoming production. The enchanting series titled “Wizards of Waverly Place” is set to premiere on the 29th of October, gracing both the Disney Channel and Disney+ platforms.
