Los Angeles, California - Selena Gomez is back in witchy action! The first trailer for the highly anticipated reboot of the beloved Disney Channel show Wizards of Waverly Place has arrived.
Nostalgia is in the air!
On Tuesday, Disney+ released the official trailer for the upcoming series featuring the 32-year-old actor back in Alex Russo's magical shoes!
The trailer offers a tiny peek at what viewers can expect from the series, which follows an adult, Justin Russo, played by returning star David Henrie, as he re-enters to the world of magic to mentor a young wizard.
At the beginning of the clip, Alex surprises Justin with a visit and introduces him to Billie, a stubborn new wizard played by actor Janice LeAnn Brown.
