What Happened to Selena Gomez's Alex Russo? Unpacking the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Finale

Alex Russo uses a memory-wiping spell to protect her daughter Billie from Lord Morsus and sacrifices herself to close a dangerous portal, leaving her fate uncertain, showrunner said.

  • On Wednesday, the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Season 2 finale revealed Billie is Alex Russo's biological daughter and ended with Alex sacrificing herself by sealing a portal with Lord Morsus, leaving her fate ambiguous.
  • Alex Russo had used a memory-wiping spell years ago to hide Billie and Justin Russo's memories from Lord Morsus , who forced Billie to open a dark-magic rift.
  • Co-Stars said filming the finale was deeply emotional, with cast reactions admitting they cried, while Alex Russo told Billie, `We’ll find each other again. I promise` before her sacrifice.
  • Fans on X reacted with heartbreak after Alex's apparent death, while David Henrie teased on October 8, 2025, that Alex is "tougher than you think" and called the finale cliffhanger major.
  • Although Wizards Beyond has yet to be renewed for Season 3, Selena Gomez remains executive producer, and David Henrie says future seasons would retrace Alex's footsteps.
