But he gets a surprise when a powerful young wizard in need of training shows up at his door… and Justin must embrace his past to ensure the future of the Wizard World."
Both Henrie and Gomez will serve as executive producers on the new series along with Jed Elinoff, Scott Thomas, Gary Marsh, and Andy Fickman, who will also direct it.
The series will premiere on Disney Channel and Disney+ later this year.
