My fellow Selena fans,
I thought you would all would like to know that Disney has extended the WOWP Season 3 order which will bring the series to 86 episodes. Which is good, but we’re gonna have to make sure that there’s a season four of at least 14 episodes. That’s so raven made it to 100, and Wizards deserves nothing less!
Disney press release follows:
DISNEY CHANNEL ORDERS ADDITIONAL EPISODES OF ITS
EMMY-WINNING COMEDY, “WIZARDS OF WAVERLY PLACE”Kids and Tweens Connect to Milestone Making Series
on TV, Online and at RetailDisney Channel has ordered additional third-season episodes of its Emmy Award-winning comedy series, “Wizards of Waverly Place,” bringing the episodic count to 86 episodes thus far, plus a blockbuster Disney Channel Original Movie that premiered in August.
In making the announcement, Gary Marsh, president, Entertainment, Disney Channels Worldwide, said: “The appeal of ‘Wizards’ is simple: it’s our extraordinary cast. This is undoubtedly one of the strongest comedic ensembles on television. When you couple that with an incredibly gifted writing and producing team, the result is pure comedic magic.”
Created by Todd J. Greenwald and executive-produced by Peter Murrieta, Greenwald, Vince Cheung and Ben Montanio, the series stars Selena Gomez, David Henrie, Jake T. Austin, Jennifer Stone, Maria Canals-Barrera and David DeLuise.
The series recently reached a new pinnacle of achievement by winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Children’s Program, and inspiring the critically acclaimed “Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie” that ranks as cable TV’s #2 scripted telecast of all time in Total Viewers (13.5 million), Kids 6-11 and Tweens 9-14, and TV’s #1 telecast of 2009 among Kids 6-11, surpassing NBC’s Super Bowl coverage. The series was also a key part of a special Disney Channel series crossover episode, “Wizards On Deck with Hannah Montana,” which delivered a noteworthy 9.2 million Total Viewers.
Its solid rapport with kids and tweens has also cast a spell off TV with a Walt Disney Records CD that ranks #3 on the Billboard Kids Chart. Its debut track, “Magic,” by Selena Gomez, has been on Radio Disney’s Top 5 most requested chart since its July premiere. Also available are books, two compilation DVDs from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, and a fast-selling DS console game from Disney Interactive Studios. The Disney Consumer Products “BoHo Chic”-inspired back to school fashion collection, available nationwide at retailers including Sears, Kmart and Wal-mart, exceeded expectations, and new lines are currently in development with character Alex Russo’s style as inspiration. The consumer products line also includes accessories, bedding, stationery and fashion dolls and will continue to expand as the franchise grows.
Series star Selena Gomez makes her solo recording debut with the CD “Kiss & Tell” from Selena Gomez & The Scene, releasing September 29 on Hollywood Records.
Selena Gomez is the national spokesperson for Sears’ Back to School initiative, “Don’t Go Back Arrive.” Sears was the exclusive sponsor of “Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie” premiere and “Wizards of Waverly Place Arrive in Style” sweepstakes on Disney Channel, Radio Disney and Disney Online and in-store at Sears.

“Wizards of Waverly Place” is a production of It’s a Laugh Productions for Disney Channel and carries a TV-G parental guideline.
Just to refresh my old memory how many episodes did Suite Life get and Kim Possible and now Hannah Montana? Cause they gotta be in the 80’s now. Wasn’t KP 87 if I think correctly.
Regardless WoWP deserves to go past 65 as it is a good show. But what is another good show is SWAC and even now SL on Deck.
Something we all know is JONAS is like the best all time series and your fav right G? It’s fun to say that bout ya 😛
Disney would be stupid not to give the Emmy Award-winning WOWP a fourth season. I’m guessing HM will top 100. BTW, when I saw last nights HM (Oliver shows his talent and HM is a judge), I couldn’t help but notice that Lilly was dressed like Alex Russo — mini skirt and knee-high socks. I’ve never found that fasion very appealing.
The Suite Life of Zack and Cody got 87 Episodes. KP got 65+22=87 episodes (counting each of the movies as three episodes, and each half length episode as half an episode).
Hannah is set to end next year. Season four is supposed to be 12 episodes, but I’m not sure where season three ends. Season two ended at 55, so unless season three is 33 episodes Hannah won’t make it to 100.
Nice G. That’s what I can count on ya for to properly break down stuff. I don’t think S3 of HM is 33 so HM would not be 100 episodes. And WoWP might come close to 100 if they do indeed shoot a S4 or they might opp for a second movie finale in theatres.
Wizards will make it to 100 if I have anything to do with it! Besides, Selena knows about SDS now, so we have that on our side. 😉
Speakin of which I mention ya to Kelly when I see her and to hype ya up big as a huge supporter; she gotta be like 27 now right?
Yeah, 27 sounds right.
A little older than me, but not too much. 🙂
Hey G nothin wrong with cougars, they just have experience although she isn’t one.
27 is no where even near cougar territory.
That’s right around the age back at NIU in DeKalb I was parting with folks. No worrying bout legal stuff and older ones can be very fun; emphasis on fun 🙂
OMG i love every movie and show on disneychannel mostly wizards and hannah!!!!!!
