January 26th, 2013
The Wizards Are Back in Action!
Alex Russo is back! It's been more than a year since Wizards of Waverly Place put its wands away, but now the Disney Channel favorite is returning with a one-hour special, The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex.
Mark your calendars: Alex vs. Alex will first debut Friday, March 8 on Disney Channel On Demand and will air on the Disney Channel Friday, March 15 at 8/7c, TV Guide reports. The plot of the special has the Russo family heading to Italy, where Alex (
Selena Gomez, who is also executive producing the special) tries to prove that she can be a carefree young witch. She inadvertently ends up creating a "good" and "evil" version of herself and gets roped into a young wizard's plan to take over the world (gosh, didn't he learn anything from Voldemort?). The war between the two Alexes culminates in an epic battle atop the leaning Tower of Pisa.

Beau Mirchoff as a handsome and mysterious wizard who may not be as sweet as he seems.
