The Russo family's magical tenure is drawing to a close as Wizards Beyond Waverly Place completes filming for its third and final season.

David Henrie, reprising his role as Justin Russo and serving as executive producer, posted a heartfelt video message on Instagram, marking the end of production.
The final episodes will pick up after a dramatic cliffhanger, where Alex Russo remembered being the mother of Billie, a young wizard whose grandfather, Nicodemus Pennwolf, posed a threat. Alex ultimately made a sacrifice to protect Billie, setting the stage for intense developments in the concluding episodes.
Fans who grew up with the original series, which ran from 2007 to 2012, and its 2013 reunion special, now face the bittersweet end of the sequel. The franchise, which saw a surprise return in 2024 with Henrie and Selena Gomez, has maintained its appeal, with the current series proving a fitting addition before its ultimate finale this summer.
