Wizards of Waverly Place's Selena Gomez and David Henrie Are Teaming Up For a Sequel

Everything is not what it seems—it's even better. 

After all, Wizards of Waverly Place fans are getting all they ever wanted. That's because the hit Disney Channel show—which ran from 2007 to 2012—is getting a spinoff, E! News can confirm. What's even better? Selena Gomez and her onscreen older brother David Henrie will executive produce the Disney+ series. 

Henrie will appear as a regular cast member, reprising his role as Justin Russo, while Gomez will guest star as Alex Russo in the pilot episode. 

Gomez shared the news Jan. 18 in an Instagram Story, writing that she was "so excited." She followed up by adding: "We're back," over an old photo of her and Henrie's characters in their fictional family's living room. 

The spinoff comes from writers and producers Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas, the creators of Raven's Home—the sequel series to Raven Symoné's That's So Raven. It will bring on new cast members including Euphoria star Janice LeAnn Brown, Call Me Kat's Alkaio Thiele and Rutherford Falls' Mimi Gianopulos.

As for what else to expect? Brown's young wizard Billie turns to Henrie's Justin for magic training. As the original's finale showed, Justin became the head of the Hogwarts-parody WizTech—but today, he's left his powers behind and is living a quiet life with his wife, Giada (Gianopulos), and two sons (the older of which, Roman, will be played by Thiele). 

And while the new show is sure to deliver a dose of nostalgia, it's not the only one on our must-binge list. Read on for more must-see premieres.

Set amidst the glamor of the global elite, Death and Other Details centers on the brilliant and restless Imogene Scott (Violett Beane), who finds herself in the wrong place/wrong time (okay, it was kinda her fault) and becomes the prime suspect in a locked room murder mystery. The setting? A lavishly restored Mediterranean ocean liner. Suspects? Every pampered guest and every exhausted crew member. The problem? To prove her innocence, she must partner with a man she despises—Rufus Cotesworth (Mandy Patinkin), the world’s greatest detective.
