The new members who have joined the popular series are - Mimi Gianopulos, Alkaio Thiele and Max Matenko.
During Disney's upfront, the makers also spilt the beans about the plot of the upcoming series. The show would start with Justin living a mortal life with his wife Giada and kids Roman and Milo. However, his life changes when Alex (Selena) comes with her daughter Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) to seek help. The series will show how Justin will again pick up his wants and mentor his niece.
While Selena and David will reprise their OG roles, they will also serve as the executive producers alongside Gary Marsh. The web series is likely to premiere later this year. Earlier in an interview, Davis, who serves as the president of Disney Branded Television said, "Wizards of Waverly Place captivated hearts with its spellbinding adventures and big laughs, creating unforgettable memories for kids and families everywhere."
