Wizards Reboot Couldn't Land Jake T. Austin, Says Co-Star

The magic circle wasn't complete for the 'Wizards of Waverly Place' revival. Original star Jake T. Austin has expressed disappointment over not being included in the new series, 'Wizards Beyond Waverly Place'.

Co-star David Henrie told TVLine that the team tried to get him back, but it ultimately didn't work out. No further details on why the reunion spell fizzled were provided.

The reboot moves forward with Selena Gomez and Henrie, but without Austin's Max Russo.
