David Henrie just dropped the biggest hint yet about the future of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. The actor and executive producer reveals why the franchise may not be done and teases what could come next.
David Henrie wants a Wizards Beyond Waverly Place movie after finale
David Henrie expressed his desire for a Wizards Beyond Waverly Place movie after the series finale wrapped up its 34-episode run, he told TheWrap. The actor and executive producer planted a line about the family wizard competition in the finale’s last scene. He believes that line could lead to a movie sequel similar to the 2009 Disney Channel original film.
“I could totally see a movie,” Henrie said. “We got to see how these episodes do, and people got to get excited for them.” He further envisioned a potential storyline, suggesting, “There’s a total universe in which we do a movie where you pick the family wizard.” Henrie even floated the idea of filming in Italy for such a project.
The four-part series finale resolved several major storylines from the spinoff’s three-season run on Disney+. The Russos rescued Selena Gomez’s Alex Russo from a portal, and Billie finally found her dad in Wizcatraz. Henrie described the extended finale as the “natural trajectory” the show had been building toward throughout its run.

Several original cast members returned for the finale, including Jennifer Stone as Harper Finkle and Gregg Sulkin as Mason. Maria Canals-Barrera also reprised her role as Theresa, though David DeLuise did not return as Jerry. “Everyone had an invitation, but people are busy,” Henrie explained about the absent cast members.
Gomez contributed significantly behind the camera, making her directorial debut on the show during the finale. “She’s very opinionated. Her opinions are, 99.99% of the time, exactly right,” Henrie said about their collaboration. The production team also sourced the iconic Waverly Sub Station set for the finale’s last scene.
Henrie next stars in Western film Angel and the Badman alongside Zachary Levi, Neal McDonough and Tommy Lee Jones through his production company, Novo Inspire Studios.
