BREAKING NEWS! Fan Favorite Returning for Wizards of Waverly Place Sequel!

To honor her start in show business, Selena Gomez has revealed that she “brings [her] to tears” when she watches the first episode of “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.”

‘Wizards Beyond Waverly Place’s’ debut episode will feature Selena Gomez.

The 31-year-old actress, who landed her first major Disney Channel role as Alex Russo in “Wizards of Waverly Place,” which aired for four seasons between 2007 and 2012 and inspired two spin-off films, is excited to be resuming her alter ego in addition to executive producing the upcoming sequel series.

“I’m so excited,” she exclaimed during her appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” which was guest hosted by her co-star Martin Short from “Only Murders in the Building.”

In essence, it’s something you know about my life that I don’t know about yours. I find a lot of meaning in this show.”

Yes, Selena affirmed. I’ll be in the opening segment. It is executive produced by myself. I cry because that’s where I started, and it makes me cry. And it’s been so much fun to honor it in this way; I can’t wait for others to see it.”

The two then made jokes about doing a second season of “Only Murders in the Building” in the future.

Martin (Oliver Putnam) yelled, using only half of his mouth, “Let’s solve the crime!”

As Mabel Mara, Selena laughed and remarked, “Let’s do it however long you can make it.”

Martin remarked, “What do you think? I don’t think I’d be in every episode. Just once in a while. What is Oliver’s opinion?

After a moment of stillness and a hunchback in his chair, he said, “That’s it.”

“This is my life every day,” Selena declared.

Martin had earlier in the interview asked his guest which of her and their 78-year-old co-star, Steve Martin, who plays Charles Hayden-Savage, he preferred.

“I don’t think there are favorite olds,” she joked.

“I adore you both for who you are, where you are, and the lessons you have imparted to me. It’s simply amazing.”
