Can we officially call 2024 the year of nostalgia? We’ve hadBeetlejuice Beetlejuice. Gladiator 2is also on the horizon. And to top of it all, the much-touted sequel toWizardsof the Waverly Placeis here to take the millennials back to their childhood.
More than a decade after the last season of the sitcom aired, the Wizards are back (at least some of them are) in action. The first trailer ofWizards Beyond Waverly Placehas taken many back to the good old days. And for some, it has ushered in a new chapter of ‘stop playing with our feelings’.
Disney is all set to take us back to the magical land
Wizards Beyond Waverly Placebrings the focus back to David Henrie’s Justin Russo. The elder Russo sibling is seemingly leading a tranquil and muggle life in the world, having left the days of wizardry behind him. But his retirement will be foiled onceSelena Gomez‘s Alex Russo shows up with Billie.

While the severity of the threat is something that can only be gauged once the show streams, the series looks all set to take us back to the wizards we all used to love. But the series might not have it easy. That is the thing with shows that depend on nostalgia. While many are just happy to reminisce about the past, some tend to compare it with the present. And often can’t approve of the latter.
Fans are all in for watchingWizards Beyond Waverly Place
Wizards Beyond Waverly Placemight not suffer the same dismal fate though, as it seems. The news that a sequel series was being helmed was common knowledge for many fans. And the moment the trailer dropped, fans have rallied to show their love in large numbers.

That is the love thatWizards of Waverly Placeenjoyed after all. It is a testament to its greatness that it even won two Primetime Emmy Awards. No wonder it will be touted to break such records in its second stint as well.
And what will please everyone associated with the series is that fans seem to be totally behind it.

In a generation marred by extremely visual shows, a little detour to the 2000s is being highly appreciated by fans around the world.
Hopefully my kids like it as much as my wife liked the og back in the day
What has shocked many is how in spite of being almost a decade apart, the trailer seems to have encapsulated everything thatWizards of Waverly Placewas.
Feels early 2000’s to me 😅
Wait I love this. Its different but also feels the same
There are a few detractors though – ones who believe that the show should have evolved to cater to its original audience.
Ohhh I was really hoping it’d cater to the audience that grew up with it. :/
My issue with this is the people who watched this show as kids are too old for the way they made this show now I wish if they did reboots they would cater to the people who watched it originally
No matter the tone, it is certain that a host of fans are more than ready to see the series now. All they want is to be dazzled.
Wizards Beyond Waverly Placeis all set to be released on Disney Channel on 29th October 2024 and on Disney+ the following day.
