The upcoming show's premise will follow Justin Russo as an adult who is leading a normal mortal life with his family, Giada, and children Roman, and Milo. When Alex brings Billie to his home seeking help, Justin realizes that he'll have to reignite his magic skills in order to mentor the 'wizard-in-training' while also juggling his responsibilities as a family man.

The cast also includes Max Matenko (Platonic), Janice LeAnn Brown (Just Roll with It), Alkaio Thiele (Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends) as Justin’s oldest son, Roman; and Mimi Gianopulos (Rutherford Falls) as Justin’s wife, Giada.

As previously mentioned, a 2024 premiere date is tentatively scheduled for both the linear channel Disney Channel and streaming service Disney+. Gomez is set to serve as a guest star in the series. She currently stars in the Hulu original series Only Murders in the Building, which is shooting its fourth season.
