Jake T. Austin has seemingly confirmed his return in the upcoming Wizards of Waverly Place sequel show Wizards. The original show followed the Russo siblings Alex (Selena Gomez), Justin (David Henrie), and Max (Austin) as they balanced learning magic from their father (David DeLuise), a former wizard, while trying to live a normal life in New York City. The upcoming show will follow Justin's new family, but while behind-the-scenes photos showed Henrie and Gomez, it has not yet been officially confirmed if Austin will be returning to reprise his role.
