Disney Channel has officially dropped the trailer for Season 2 of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. Initial thoughts? It’s nothing short of spellbinding. The continuation of the Emmy® Award-winning Wizards of Waverly Place promises humor, family drama, and a mysterious dark force that could unravel the Russo family forever.
New Season, Bigger Stakes, and Selena Gomez Back as Alex Russo
Season 2 picks up as Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) struggles with the realities of being part of the Russo family. With Roman (Alkaio Thiele) and Milo (Max Matenko) unlocking magical powers, Justin now finds himself responsible for training three young wizards for the high-stakes Family Wizard Competition. But this isn’t just a playful rivalry. The trailer hints at a darker storyline involving a sinister figure who vows to use Billie’s powers to “fulfill the prophecy” and open a dangerous rift.
The highlight of the new trailer is the return of Selena Gomez as Alex Russo. Fans get a nostalgic yet hilarious moment when Alex is caught casting a spell in her sleep, proving she hasn’t lost her magical touch. Brother Justin Russo, played by David Henrie, reacts classically, reminding viewers why their sibling banter became iconic.
