While David Henrie and Selena Gomez are executive producers, the reboot has been met with mixed reviews. Many fans have been upset that the show isn’t centered around the Russo family; instead, it’s centered around Justin. Other fans wonder why Selena Gomez, who was the star of the original show Wizards of Waverly Place, only serves as a guest star in the reboot. And while the show’s storyline has faced criticism from fans, several Wizards of Waverly Place cast members are starting to speak out.
Earlier this week, Jennifer Stone (Harper Finkle) revealed that David Henrie limited her and original Wizards of Waverly Place cast members to one episode per season in the reboot. Since then, other cast members have commented on their lack of screen time in the show. David DeLuise (Jerry Russo) shared a comment on the cancellation of the reboot after its third season, stating, “It would not be over if the OG wizards were really there. Missed opportunity.”

Is this all a simple miscommunication? Did David Henrie purposely leave out cast members to keep the show focused on Justin? As multiple cast members continue to reveal their thoughts online, fans are reacting to the show and cast members’ statements. Fans have also resurfaced an interview with Henrie in which he says he was supposed to be the lead character of Wizards of Waverly Place before Disney decided to give it to Selena Gomez.

— DenouementLawyer (@Itsthatlawyer_) August 8, 2026I knew this show was gonna be a total disaster when they announced that David Henrie’s character was the focal point in the reboot… he was easily the least interesting person from the OG Wizards show, and I mean that as least shady as possible, it’s just common knowledge. t.co/WczgZLSRsi
