Disney also dropped a trailer for the highly-anticipated farewell event, which includes the first footage of two major returns from “Wizards of Waverly Place”: Jennifer Stone, who played Alex’s (Selena Gomez) BFF Harper, will guest-star in the final season, as will Gregg Sulkin, who played Alex’s werewolf boyfriend Mason.

How will Wizards Beyond Waverly Place end?
Here’s what we can expect from the final four episodes of “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place,” according to Disney’s official synopsis: “Billie, still reeling from losing Alex at the end of Season 2, discovers that the only way to rescue her mother is to reunite with her long-lost father. As her family bands together to find Alex, Billie realizes that their combined power is the only way the Russos can defeat the evil plaguing them.”
In addition to returning as Alex Russo for several episodes of the final season, Selena Gomez will also make her directorial debut with the premiere.
