00:00It's an exciting day. It's up front. We have a new season of Wizards.
00:05David, I wanted to ask you first, what has it been like to come home to the Wizards family?
00:10It's been... it's hard to put into words because it's so meaningful to me.
00:15I mean, the original show, I grew up on the original show.
00:17I got to then see the effect it had on millions of people all over the world.
00:21I got to see how in some cases it saved kids who were in a really dark time.
00:24So for me, getting to recreate that feeling that, yes, I love doing it as an artist,
00:28but there's a bigger effect that's out there, it's wonderful to do that with a whole new cast.
00:33So it really is meaningful in a whole... in a way that's hard to articulate.
00:37And what has the fan reaction to this new series meant to both of you?
00:42It's meant so much to me. I think we did a pretty good job, so I'm very proud of us.
00:47I'm glad that we're bringing the heart of the original show to the original fans,
00:52but we also have a new heart for new fans as well.
00:56Like, my baby sister, she was always quoting lines from the show,
00:59and it just... I don't know why it makes my heart feel so warm.
01:03And so it means a lot.
01:05Has there been any particular fan interaction that you've had that really stuck with you?
01:10I mean, every time I go to the airport, wherever I'm at,
01:12someone needs to stop me, and someone talks to me about the new show
01:15and, like, what it means to them.
01:17I love all the fans, obviously, but speaking to parents who watch the show
01:23and who now are watching it with their 3-year-old, their 4-year-old, their 5-year-old, their 6-year-old,
01:27that is really cool to see.
01:30Because that was... that was just, like...
01:32to me, that was such a hope that people would do that,
01:36and they are doing it, and that's such a reward.
01:38And how is this new season going to expand on what we've seen?
01:42Well, we ended the last season, my children got powers.
01:45So I call the last season the prequel.
01:46And this season, I feel like it's really beginning,
01:48because now we have a wizard competition,
01:50and they're all... now with our new family member here,
01:53they're all competing against one another for who's going to be the family wizard.
01:57So to me, I feel like the show has really just begun, which is exciting.
02:01The competition aspect.
02:03How do we... what's our game plan for that?
02:06Honestly, Billie is going insane over it.
02:10She's obsessing over winning, I feel like.
02:14There's going to be a new little thing that they're also going to be competing in.
02:17And I don't know if I can say it, but...
02:19Probably keep it to yourself.
02:20Yeah, I don't know if I can say it.
02:22But it's going to be very fun.
02:23But we know they have powers.
02:24Yep.
02:25And they all want to win.
02:27And of course, Selena made an appearance last season.
02:31Can we expect to see her make a cameo or two this time around?
02:34We are going to answer that question at a later date.
02:37But it's a very good question.
02:41Look, she has been such a wonderful partner on this.
02:43Pardon me.
02:44She has been such a great advocate for the show.
02:48She loves the value.
02:49She's all about it.
02:50She's been so helpful every step of the way with helping craft what the fans see on TV.
02:54Yeah, for sure.
02:55And what was it like kind of having Selena on board in a creative capacity?
03:00It meant so much because, especially since I used to watch her like all the time,
03:04it felt very surreal to meet her and everything.
03:06She was so sweet.
03:07And she had a lot of great advice to offer all of us.
03:10And she just made the set really fun.
03:12She's like literally a mama bear to us.
03:14And then, you know, we have Mr. David that's like an uncle and everything.
03:17So it's really like a family.
03:19And every time she's on set, any time she enters any room, she just lights it up.
03:24So.
03:24So.
