Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, the sequel to the popular Disney Channel show Wizards of Waverly Place, recently premiered. It contained many interesting reveals that brought fans up to speed on what took place between the two shows. One of these was David Henrie‘s Justin Russo’s getting fired from Wiztech, where he served as headmaster in the intervening period between both shows. Accordingly, fans are wondering why Justin was fired from Wiztech before the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place events.
Here is the reason for Justin Russo’s firing from Wiztech in Wizards Beyond Waverly Place explored.
Why did Justin Russo get fired from Wiztech in Wizards Beyond Waverly Place?
Justin Russo was fired from Wiztech due to a mysterious incident, which his sister Alex described as the “Unicorn Incident.” The exact details of Justin’s firing from Wiztech or the Unicorn Incident are currently unknown. It is possible that this incident will be explored in detail sometime in future episodes.
Justin’s firing also likely contributed to his decision to leave the magic realm and live everyday life with his wife Giada and sons, Roman and Milo. This is where viewers find him at the start of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. Not only that, he also concealed his true nature as a wizard from them, which they eventually learned when Alex showed up with Billie at his doorstep.
Another major change that befell Justin Russo was his breakup with his girlfriend Juliet Van Heusen before his marriage to Giada. This event took place sometime between the two shows, as Wizards of Waverly Place’s finale still depicted them together.
Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is streaming on Disney Plus. Besides David Henrie, other cast members include Janice LeAnn Brown, Alkaio Thiele, Max Matenko, Taylor Cora, and Mimi Gianopoulos. Todd J. Greenwald reprises his role as series creator from Wizards of Waverly Place.
