He explained where each of the characters are in their lives. \"Alex is a fashionista, off killing it in some other part of the realm,\" he shared.

Henrie also told ET about why he's still so attached to the show. \"We really were a family. We really loved each other so much -- I'm still very good friends with pretty much all of the cast,\" he said. \"Selena and I are still super close.\"

Other cast members have also commented on a potential reboot. Maria Canals-Barrera, who played Theresa Russo in the series, replied to a viral tweet alluding to a reboot of the show in April 2019.

Oh, yes! 👍 https://t.co/dynhYnp2wj

Gomez has yet to comment on a potential \"Wizards\" reboot.
