It’s been more than 12 years since “Wizards of Waverly Place” ended in 2012 after four seasons, but reuniting for the spinoff, “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place”, David Henrie who played Selena Gomez’s onscreen brother revealed what it was like working with Gomez again, even though she will reportedly only appear on one episode.
“It was bonkers,” Henrie said. “It was unspoken but we were behind a door and heard, ‘Action,’ we looked at one another and were like, ‘This is crazy.’ It was like a day hadn’t passed in 12 years. We were right back to where we were.”
David revealed that he and Selena were actually the ones who came up with rebooting the show!
“Selena and I and my wife spent so much time over the years drinking wine and talking about where the characters would be, we looked at each other at one point and said, ‘I think we have a show. I think we should go talk to Disney about this.’ And we did. It took years of development to get it exactly where it needed to be,” he said.
