‘Wizards Beyond Waverly Place’: See Alex, Harper & Mason Reunite In Season 3 Trailer

Hold on to your wands and crazy funky junky hats! Alex Russo, Harper Finkle, and Mason Greyback are all in the same room again. The trailer for the four-part Wizards Beyond Waverly Place event just dropped, and fans can see the friends reunited once more.

The Disney Channel show will have one last four-part special before it says goodbye this summer. Jennifer Stone and Gregg Sulkin, two recurring stars from the original series, are confirmed to return, but David DeLuise, who played Jerry Russo, and Jake T. Austin, who played Max Russo, will not make an appearance.

A spinoff of 2007’s Wizards of Waverly Place, WBWP last left fans on two huge cliffhangers in the Season 2 finale, when Alex Russo (Selena Gomez) jumped into a portal to save her family after it was revealed that Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) was her daughter. Fans will get to see how that plays out in these four parts.

Read on for everything we know about the upcoming season.

What will Season 3 be about?

Billie, still reeling from losing Alex at the end of Season 2, discovers that the only way to rescue her mother is to reunite with her long-lost father. As her family bands together to find Alex, Billie realizes that their combined power is the only way the Russos can defeat the evil plaguing them.

How did Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Season 2 end?

Season 2 ended with two big bombshells. The Russos were trying to save Billie from Lord Morsus, who was trying to take away her magic. They got tied up by the evil wizard, and Billie opened a portal to come with him to save her family. As she did so, Alex shed a tear. It fell onto the Penwolf locket she found in her apartment and released a memory.

In the flashback, fans saw Alex dropping Billie off at the boarding school, Wiz Tech, because Lord Morsus was after her. But, it was also revealed that Alex was Billie’s mom, and her dad was Morsus’ son.

After that revelation, Milo (Matenko) used magic to untie the family, and they all tried to defeat Lord Morsus. They wanted to close the portal, but he said it could only be closed from the other side. Billie offered to go through it since she opened it, but Alex stopped her. She kissed her on the forehead and the locket, apologized for leaving her, and jumped through the portal with Lord Morsus.

Her fate was left ambiguous, with fans not knowing if she died or was just stuck somewhere in another dimension. However, Henrie confirmed that she was just trapped in the portal.

Is there a trailer?

Yes! The trailer dropped on July 15, showing Billie recruiting her family and friends to help save her mom after she gave up her powers, but Justin tells her that her powers are a part of who she is. They jump through portals, fight evil wizards, and try to break Billie’s dad out of jail.

But the end is for the OG fans. Mason appears at Alex’s apartment. They hug and say they missed each other. Harper pops out from behind the door and takes a picture of them, saying she is going to put it in her scrapbook.
