Premise
The show centers upon Alex Russo, her older brother Justin, and younger brother Max who live double lives; on the outside, they appear to be normal kids, though in secret, they are young wizards in training. The three live with their stern, disciplinary father, Jerry, and their eccentric mother, Theresa. Alex often gets into trouble by disobeying her parents, and learns lessons and morals that teach span among friends, family, and school.
Casting
Gomez, Austin, Henrie and Canals have all had roles in other Disney Channel series. DeLuise and Stone have never. The writers originally struggled with naming the characters; there were originally supposed to be two siblings: Jordan (later Justin) and Julia (later Brooke, then Alex), but that was changed after Austin was hired.[citation needed] Alexa Nikolas considered the role of Alex but Gomez won the part.[citation needed] Bailey Grace has been in one episode that has not been shown yet. She plays Alex's friend.
