Jennifer Stone is set to reprise her role as Harper Finkle in the upcoming third and final season of Disney's 'Wizards Beyond Waverly Place', Variety has learned exclusively.
Stone, who played the non-magical best friend of Alex Russo (Selena Gomez) in the original 'Wizards of Waverly Place', will guest star in the sequel series. She joins other original cast members who have appeared, including David Henrie, Selena Gomez, Maria Canals Barrera, David DeLuise, and Gregg Sulkin.
This marks Stone's first credited onscreen role since 2019. She took a hiatus from acting to study nursing, later working as a nurse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Stone appeared in all 106 episodes and two films of the original series.
The final season consists of four episodes and will air this summer on Disney+, Disney Channel, and Disney on-demand platforms. The logline teases Billie's quest to rescue her mother and reunite with her father, with the Russo family combining powers to defeat evil.
