Selena Gomez Teases Wizards of Waverly Place Reunion, Sparking Nostalgic Excitement Among Fans
February 8, 2026
Selena Gomez reunited with Wizards of Waverly Place co-stars David DeLuise and Jennifer Stone, sharing nostalgic photos that delighted fans.
Gomez teased a renewed collaboration with DeLuise, posting glimpses on Instagram Stories as fans speculated about a reunion.
The Instagram posts mark a reunion on screen 14 years after the show ended, with Gomez and DeLuise photos from a night out with former cast and crew.
Among others mentioned, Dan Benson indicated he wouldn’t join a reboot due to career choices in adult entertainment and expressed sadness at not reprising his role.
Gomez explained her motivation for a potential sequel as a way to maintain relationships with cast members who’ve grown since 2012.
The reunion reinforces Gomez’s long-standing connection to the Wizards universe, echoed by a September 2025 Allure interview about returning and valuing the cast.
Fans’ nostalgia is a central theme, with Gomez recalling the happiest times on set and emphasizing the enduring bond among the cast.
Wizards of Waverly Place ran from 2007 to 2012, including The Movie (2009) which won an Emmy and The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex (2013) special.
In September 2025, Gomez reflected on filming as a teenager, noting how those years shaped her personal and professional development.
Gomez briefly reprised Alex Russo in Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, a reboot that launched in 2024 with two seasons and a third not yet confirmed.
The sequel spinoff ran from 2024 to 2025, with Gomez and Henry returning as leads but not all original cast members returning.
DeLuise and Stone host a Wizards of Waverly Pod, continuing to engage fans with discussions about the show.
