Speaking on The Red Carpet, Henrie revealed how he and his co-star Selena Gomez developed the show.

Both Henrie and Gomez also serve as executive producers, ensuring that the new series retains the heart of the original.

While discussing the original series, Wizards of Waverly Place, Henrie said, "part of the magic of the show was what happened off camera, and off camera, we were really like a family. So, there really wasn't that pressure, because we had each other's backs."

"Those are the wonderful, familial themes that the original show had that we wanted to bring to the table for a whole new audience," he shared.
