“Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” Season Two Disney+ Release Details Announced
Disney has announced details on the upcoming second season of the original series, “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place”, which is a continuation of the hit Disney Channel original series, “Wizards of Waverly Place”.
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 realises 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.
In the second season, Billie grapples with the fact that being part of the Russo family might be more complicated than she thought — especially now that she’s not the only wizard in the house. Thanks to Roman and Milo’s new magical powers, Justin is now tasked with training three young wizards for the Family Wizard Competition. As the stakes rise inside and outside the family, a mysterious new threat emerges…one that could unravel the Russos forever.
Check out the season two teaser trailer below:
The series stars David Henrie (as Justin Russo), 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).
Joining Selena Gomez (“Alex Russo”) in guest roles for the second season include “ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires” star Freya Skye (Piper), Harvey Guillén (Gossip Stone), Kirsten Vangsness (Bigelow McFigglehorn), Recker Eans (Quentin), Tobias Jelinek (Lord Morsus), Patrick Bristow (Wiz M.D.) and Eleanor Sweeney (Bella Bianchi).
This season will deliver a dose of nostalgia with the return of iconic characters from “Wizards of Waverly Place,” including Mr. Laritate (Bill Chott) and Mantooth (Sean Whalen). Amanda Tepe, known for her many memorable roles throughout the original series, also makes a special appearance in the Christmas-themed episode.
Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas serve as writers and executive producers, along with executive producers Gary Marsh, Jonas Agin, Selena Gomez and Henrie. “Wizards of Waverly Place” was created by Todd Greenwald.
The second season will premiere on the Disney Channel with two episodes on September 12th, with the entire second season arriving on Disney+ in the United States and select international markets on October 8th 2025.
You’ll find the first season of “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place”, along with the previous seasons of “Wizards of Waverly Place” on Disney+ now.
Roger’s Take: It’s great to see this original series returning for a second season, as there are very few live-action shows coming from the Disney Channel lately, though I do question Disney’s decision to delay the Disney+ release by almost a month, as it always feels like this strategy takes away lots of the social media buzz around the show, since most kids aren’t going to be tuning in at a set time to watch a show, when they’ve grown up in an era of on-demand entertainment, making me question who is this benefitting (ie Disney Channel executives?)!
Are you looking forward to the return of “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place”? Let me know on social media!
