Canals-Barrera also shared a photo with the group on her social media accounts, which she captioned, \"You guys are gonna LOVE the new Wizards show! #WizardsOfWaverlyPlace.\"

The sweet reunion comes after it was announced that Henrie and Gomez will executive produce a \"Wizards of Waverly Place\" sequel. Henrie is set to reprise his role as Justin, and Gomez will be featured in a guest-starring role as Alex.

According to a synopsis for the upcoming sequel, the show will pick up \"after a mysterious incident at WizTech, where an adult Justin Russo has left his powers behind, opting for a normal, human life with his wife and two sons.\"

\"But he gets a surprise when a powerful young wizard in need of training shows up at his door … and Justin must embrace his past to ensure the future of the Wizard World,\" the synopsis states.
