Selena Gomez is returning to Wizards of Waverly Place. It was announced last month that Gomez, along with the rest of the Wizards cast, would return for a new special.
This week, the 20-year-old had big news for fans. She tweeted that filming for the special, The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex, had begun.
“We’re back,” she wrote, sharing a screenshot of the script.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new special will follow the Russo family on a trip to Tuscany to meet their long lost relatives. Alex Russo, played by Gomez, tries to prove she is more than just a “good natured wizard” and ends up casting a spell that creates a good Alex and an evil Alex. The spell causes her to fight against evil Alex, who is plotting to take over the world.
Gomez not only stars in Wizards Return, she also serves as an executive producer. The series wrapped up early this year and Gomez said that it was her idea to bring it back one last time.
"I wanted to do it really badly," she told MTV News. "I want to make sure I promise the cast and the fans a really, really good hour-long event that they can enjoy and will leave them feeling good."
The one-hour Wizards of Waverly Place special is expected to premiere in early 2013 on Disney Channel.
