Years after the original Russo family adventures, the magic of Waverly Place returns — bigger, bolder, and more unpredictable than ever. Justin Russo, now the head of WizTech, balances family life with the daunting responsibility of guiding the next generation of wizards. He and his wife Juliet Van Heusen raise two extraordinary sons, Roman and Milo, who are half-wizard, half-vampire — a combination that makes them both powerful and mischievous. When Billy Russo, the rebellious son of Alex and Mason, is expelled from WizTech, he is sent to live with Justin. But Billy is no ordinary student — he is the Chosen One, destined to shape the fate of the magical world. As long-dormant villains return, resurrected by a mysterious dark force, the Russo family and their allies must protect Billy while confronting new threats, navigating family drama, and discovering the limits of their magic. Meanwhile, familiar faces from the original series — including Max, Harper, Zeke, and even eccentric former characters like Dean Moriarty and Hugh Normus — return in surprising ways, blending nostalgia with a fresh, high-stakes adventure. Packed with humor, heart, and spellbinding magic, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place explores the challenges of growing up, living with extraordinary power, and discovering that sometimes the greatest magic comes from family — and the choices we make.
