Nearly all of the Russo family has reunited ahead of the upcoming Wizards of Waverly Place reboot!
If you missed it, Disney Channel is bringing the show back, and it is set to focus on David Henrie‘s Justin Russo and his family.
Production on the show’s pilot has already begun and it will feature David and Selena Gomez back, and now, it looks like their parents, played by David DeLuise and Maria Canals-Barrera have also signed on!
The two have debuted their new podcast Wizards of Waverly Pod, as they look back at their time on Wizards of Waverly Place, along with various guests.
The duo will be sharing never before heard behind-the-scenes moments, interviews with crew and cast, including Selena Gomez, explore the show’s cultural impact and more.
In the first episode, they talk about the beginning of the show and dished on the never before seen original pilot of the Disney Channel series.
Demi Lovato of course rose to prominence on the Disney Channel after starring in the lead role of the DCOM, where she crushed it as Mitchie, but her BFF and former Barney co-star Selena Gomez almost could have portrayed her.
Disney super fans will know that Selena was offered the role and turned it down, but her WOWP dad is saying why she really turned it down.
“Reunited and it feels so good!!! Congrats @baileemadison on directing your first music video! #Reunion #Congrats #Friends,” David captioned the photo of the stars in 80s attire.
“Filming something totally RAD today! #80s,” Maria captioned another photo.
David took to Instagram this week to post a photo of himself holding both Selena and her boyfriend The Weeknd‘s (whose real name is Abel Tesfaye) magazine covers in his hands.
