The two-minute video also reveals that David DeLuise will return as the Russo family patriarch, Jerry Russo, and features plenty of behind-the-scenes peaks at production.

The Disney series “follows an adult Justin Russo, who has chosen to lead a normal, mortal life with his family, Giada, Roman and Milo. When Justin’s sister Alex brings Billie to his home seeking help, Justin realizes he must dust off his magical skills to mentor the wizard-in-training while also juggling his everyday responsibilities — and safeguarding the future of the Wizard World,” says the synopsis.
