Hiatus Watch: Wizards Beyond Waverly Place (+ Trailer)

There are quite a few shows I want to watch during this hiatus and the latest one I found is Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. It's a spin-off from Wizards of Waverly Place and in this new series it follows Justin Russo, who is stepping back into the magical world after leaving it behind. Surprisingly, he never told his wife Giada and their kids Roman and Milo that he was a wizard. Justin was asked by his younger sister Alex to teach Billie, a young and rebellious wizard who although is very powerful, she has no discipline. Also, there's some sort of prophesy about Billie (which she doesn't know about) but it may end up with her having to save the world. Which at the moment she is definitely not prepared for. Which is why Justin will really have to teach her everything she needs to know about magic. What I found interesting is that it didn't take long before Giada, Roman and Milo found out about magic (well, the kids found out in the first episode).

So far, I only watched the first two episodes (there are 10 episodes that have already aired) and I already really like this show. It's funny, cute, fast paced and has plenty of magic. I like all the characters, Billie is smart and full of energy which can sometimes get her in trouble especially in regards to her magic. Justin is still the same (studious and structured), he's just an adult now. Giada who is an Investigative Reporter is both smart and a little wacky. She also has this tacky sense of fashion that works for her. As for their kids, Roman and Milo they are very opposite. Where Roman is a mini version of his dad (studious and structured), Milo is a little whimsical weirdo but it also works for him.

I'm a big fan of supernatural shows and it's been a while since I've watched a Disney Channel show which is why I'm glad I found Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. While I'm getting caught up on the remainder of the first 10 episodes, funny enough I think this show might be on hiatus. There are still 11 more episodes to air for the rest of season but I don't see when a new episode is scheduled.
