Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is the Disney spinoff fans have been dreaming of. Packed with magic, mayhem, and the return of beloved characters from Wizards of Waverly Place, the series has quickly become one of Disney’s most successful spinoffs to date. With Part 1 of the series premiering in October and November 2024, fans are already wondering when the rest of the season will drop—and what lies ahead for the magical Russo family.
How Many Episodes Are in Season 1 of ‘Wizards Beyond Waverly Place’?
According to Deadline, the first season of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place features 21 episodes, split into two parts. Part 1, consisting of nine episodes, is already available to stream on Disney+ and has aired on Disney Channel. These episodes premiered throughout October and November 2024.
A mid-season break is currently underway, with the second batch of episodes scheduled for release in 2025. While Disney has not announced an exact premiere date for Part 2, but we can probably expect to more of the Russo family sometime in January or February at the earliest.
When Is the ‘Wizards Beyond Waverly Place’ Season 1 Finale?
We won’t be seeing a Season 1 finale for the series until next year, however, there’s a lot of excitement already building — especially since producer and original cast member Selena Gomez is set to star in it.
What Have the Cast and Creators Said About Season 2?
As for a potential second season, executive producer David Henrie, who also reprises his role as Justin Russo, has hinted that plans are already in the works if the show gets renewed.
“I know a lot about what the second season would be if we get picked up,” David shared. “On the producing side, I talk about all this stuff with the guys, so I kind of know what it would be.”
He explained that Season 1 has been a journey of rediscovery for Justin Russo: “I think this first season for Justin is really about rebirth—he starts out completely neglecting the magical side of his past, and Billie comes into his life and rebirths that side of him. So if season one is just him getting back on his feet, season two, I think, naturally, would be him really settling into that and continuing to take hold of that.”
