“Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” Coming Soon To Disney+ (UK/Ireland)
Disney has announced that the first eight episodes of the upcoming original series, “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” which is a continuation of the popular Disney Channel series, “Wizards of Waverly Place,” will be coming to Disney+ in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
“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 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). Selena Gomez (as Alex Russo) will guest star in the first episode.
Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas serve as writers and executive producers, along with executive producers Gary Marsh, Jonas Agin, Gomez and Henrie. Andy Fickman directed and executive-produced the pilot and will direct multiple episodes. “Wizards of Waverly Place” was created by Todd Greenwald.
All eight episodes will be released on Disney+ on Wednesday 30th October 2024, which is the same day as when the series also is released on Disney+ in the United States. The series will also premiere in the US on the Disney Channel the day before.
Roger’s Take: It’s great to see this show getting the same release date as in the United States and I hope we see more of this going forward, as it makes no sense why so many shows don’t get released at the same time.
