A first look video at “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” has been revealed by Disney, featuring behind-the-scenes moments with the series lead cast, including David Henrie and Janice LeAnn Brown, along with executive producer and guest star Selena Gomez.

“This is where it all started,” Gomez says in the production first look. “We’re home!”

The “Wizards of Waverly Place” spinoff follows an adult Justin Russo (Henrie) who chooses to lead a normal, mortal life with his family Giada (Mimi Gianopulos), Roman (Alkaio Thiele) and Milo (Max Matenko). When Alex Russo (Gomez) brings Billie (Brown) to his home seeking help, Justin has to brush up on his magical skills to mentor the young wizard-in-training and juggle his everyday responsibilities.
