In her Instagram post, Gomez conveyed her happiness, writing, "NOTHING will ever beat making little kids laugh." She thanked the show by addressing @disneywizardsseries, stating how it made "the little girl in me so happy!! Hope you guys watch!! 💜🪄."

These posts came after the premiere of Gomez's return as Alex in the show’s inaugural episode on Disney+ on October 29.

The plot of the new series revolves around Justin, who wishes to lead a "normal, mortal life with his family," until Alex unexpectedly visits him. She arrives with a young wizard named Billie, portrayed by Janice LeAnn Brown, hoping to persuade Justin to mentor her.

Speaking to PEOPLE during the premiere in October, Gomez emphasized the significance of the show to her career. "It’s the best feeling in the whole world to bring this back for you, and to all the people who have never seen it before," she said. She acknowledged how it served as the foundation for her present success, stating, "This is what gave me everything that I have today, and I will never forget that this is where I started."
