David Henrie, Selena Gomez, and Jake T. Austin were the stars of Disney Channel's hit television show, "Wizards of Waverly Place." The show followed the Russo family, who may look like an ordinary family with an average restaurant, but behind closed doors, the three children all have magical powers and are training to compete to be the next family wizard.
The series lasted four seasons, first debuting in October 2007 -- marking its 15th anniversary. David Henrie took to social media to post a touching tribute to his "Wizards" family.

"So grateful and blessed for all the memories, friends, and people who made a young kids dream come true. Thank you to all the fans of the show for all the support over the years.

In 2020, Selena Gomez and David Henrie hinted at a possible reboot to the hit Disney Channel show.
Henrie posted a video of himself to Instagram saying “Hmm..” and then turning the camera to show Selena Gomez who also just simply says “Hmm”. It left fans with so many questions -- including co-star, Gregg Sulkin, who commented “Hmmmm” to which Henrie replied with “hmm indeed Gregg. Hmmm indeed.”
And in 2019, Henrie spoke to ET, saying that he and Gomez talk about a reboot “all the time”.
“We have a whole take. We have a whole thing,” Henrie stated. “We want to start the show like a few years later; start them off at the worst place ever so that way throughout the series you give them a nice, beautiful arch of reuniting. Start them out divided.”
In regards to where the characters would be in the reboot, Henrie shared, “Alex is a fashionista, off killing it in some other part of the realm. Justin’s, like, the principal who has a family now, of WizTech. Max has the sub shop, but it’s run down … Start us all completely discombobulated and then throughout the course of the series you bring us all together."
