While the entire process has been a blast so far, David couldn't help but reflect on his past in the show, seeing how things are drastically evolving.

"It's nuts," David said. "As I was driving here, we passed the Wizards poster on Sunset, and you see that thing, and you're just like, 'Whoa. It's really happening."

And Alex Russo feels the same way herself!

"I truly feel like it was the place I started, and I'll always be grateful for that time, and I just hope that this new chapter can bring a whole new audience joy the same way that we did when we were younger," Selena said.

"Getting to pass the wand off to a whole new generation – but at the same time give a big, warm hug to our OG fans – is a dream come true for both of us," David added.
