David Henrie — best known as Justin Russo on Wizards of Waverly Place — joins us on the couch for the first time to talk all things Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Season 2. The new series reunites Henrie and Selena Gomez as adult versions of their beloved characters, while introducing a whole next-gen cast of young wizards.

Gomez pops in for a few episodes each season — and yes, David teases what’s up with her in Season 2 — but she’s also been instrumental behind the scenes, helping bring the reboot to life from casting to marketing. We dive into their real-life friendship, how the revival came together, and what it’s like for Henrie — now a dad himself — to revisit the world that shaped his transition from teens to twenties. (Fun fact: he even wrote an episode back in the day.)

David opens up about navigating fame so young, avoiding the pitfalls so many child stars face, and how he thinks the industry can do better. Now 36, he’s also carving out a strong directing career with projects like the coming-of-age film This Is the Year and the horror-comedy Monster Summer, starring Oscar-winner Mel Gibson.

We get into all of it — sitcoms, laugh tracks, Jake T. Austin, and the lost art of the multicam — plus so much more.
