The enchanting sequel unravels the story of Justin, who decides to leave his job at WizTech and relinquish his magical powers for a more ordinary life with his family. However, the tranquility is disrupted when a potent young wizard appears at his doorstep seeking training.

In his caption, Henrie wrote, “The Russos are excited to become a part of your family, but we’ve grown. 2024, the year magic comes back.” Fans can eagerly anticipate the return of the magical world that captivated audiences, as “Wizards” promises to weave a spellbinding narrative and continue the legacy of the beloved series.
