Selena Gomez Returning for "Wizards Beyond Waverly Place" Season 2
Yara Sameh Selena Gomez is set to reprise the role of Alex Russo in Season 2 of 'Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.' Gomez posted Friday about her return to the spinoff in an Instagram story, writing, 'Just feels right…' over a photo featuring her sitting on the iconic set holding a wand. The star executive produces the series, which is a spinoff of 'Wizards of Waverly Place,' the Disney Channel sitcom that ran for four seasons from 2007 to 2012 and launched Gomez's career. 'Wizards Beyond Waverly Place' premiered in October of last year, with Gomez appearing in two of the first season's 21 episodes. In the original series, Gomez's Alex Russo was a young wizard who trained in magic alongside her two brothers with the knowledge that only one of them would be able to keep their powers once they reached adulthood. Alex won the competition.

A synopsis for Season 2 of 'Wizards Beyond Waverly Place' reads, 'Billie grapples with the fact that being part of the Russo family might be more complicated than she thought — especially now that she's not the only wizard in the house. Thanks to Roman (Alkaio Thiele) and Milo's (Max Matenko) new magical powers, Justin is now tasked with training three young wizards for the Family Wizard Competition. As the stakes rise inside and outside the family, a mysterious new threat emerges — one that could unravel the Russos forever.' Besides Gomez, executive producers of 'Wizards Beyond Waverly Place' include Henrie; writers Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas; Gary Marsh; and Jonas Agin.

Fan-favorite Oreo was missing for 8 years. Now, it's returning for limited time
A beloved Oreo cookie is staging a comeback eight years in the making. Blueberry Pie Oreo cookies will return to shelves starting Monday, July 7, after years of spirited requests from fans, according to the cookie brand. Packs will be available for preorder June 30 before rolling out in stores nationwide. 'You win. Now please stop yelling at us,' Oreo captioned an Instagram post announcing the cookie's return. The seasonal snack, featuring blueberry creme sandwiched between two graham cracker-flavored cookies, will rejoin the Oreo lineup for the first time since 2017, according to a news release. The news prompted a flurry of reactions from fans who couldn't hide their excitement. 'Omg I've been waiting for this for so long,' one person commented under the post. 'When brands actually listen to their fan base >>>>,' another wrote. One person suggested they had no plans to share, writing: 'Literally buying all of them.' It's the latest Oreo flavor to be pulled from the vault, returning only for a limited time. In March, the brand brought back its Golden Birthday Cake cookies in time to 'celebrate Milk's Favorite Cookie turning another year older,' McClatchy News reported. More recently, Oreo teamed up with Selena Gomez for a new chocolate and cinnamon-flavored cookie inspired by the singer's childhood and love of horchata. 'Making my own OREO cookie was a lot of fun,' Gomez said. 'I grew up loving them, so being able to be a part of the process was a full-circle moment.' Previous limited-edition Oreo flavors have included red velvet, churro and PB&J, according to Tasting Table. Oreo blueberry pie cookies will be available for a limited time, while supplies last, Oreo said.
