Selena Gomez felt ‘home again’ filming ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ sequel

Selena Gomez and her co-star David Henrie got candid on how they felt filming the long-awaited sequel to Wizards of Waverly Place.

“It felt like I was home again,” Gomez, told Variety Thursday night at the premiere for season four of her hit show Only Murders in the Building in Los Angeles.

“I’m so happy I got to bring back this childhood gift that I was given to new little ones out there.”

The pair announced the new Disney sequel, titled Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, in May.

“It was bonkers,” Henrie expressed about working with the Calm Down singer again.

“It was unspoken but we were behind a door and heard, ‘Action,’ we looked at one another and were like, ‘This is crazy.’”

He added, “It was like a day hadn’t passed in 12 years. We were right back to where we were.”

Gomez, who was only slated to appear in only the first episode, will serve as an executive producer on the series alongside Henrie.

“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 told the outlet.
