The new series will focus on Justin (the returning David Henrie) having given up his powers for a normal life with his family, only to get drawn back into the world of magic by a young wizard named Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) who seeks his guidance. Gomez is set to reprise her role as Justin’s sister Alex Russo in a recurring capacity.
