Selena Gomez and Jennifer Stone are tuning in for a rewatch of Wizards of Waverly Place.
In a carousel of photos posted to Instagram by Gomez, a large television could be seen while an episode of the Disney show aired. In another photo in the series of images, Stone could be seen tucking into a large plate of pasta.
“Good times, good food, good people,” she captioned the photos.
The show proved to be a breakout role for Gomez, who played protagonist Alex Russo, a teen who happens to have magical abilities. Stone, meanwhile, played Alex’s best friend, Harper Finkle, who finds out about the family’s magical secret after a few seasons.
A sequel to the show — Wizards Beyond Waverly Place — headed to Disney Channel this year and was co-produced by the original stars Gomez and David Henrie. Henrie stars in the show as the adult version of his character, Justin Russo, with new cast members Janice LeAnn Brown, Alkaio Thiele and Mimi Gianopulos. Gomez guest-starred.
At the show’s premiere in October, Gomez said it’s “the best feeling in the whole world to be able to bring this back for you and to all the people who have never seen it before.”

Earlier this year, Gomez said of the original show, which aired from 2007 to 2012: “This is what gave me everything that I have today, and I’ll never forget that this is where I started.”
She told PEOPLE that the sequel series “picked up where we left off and it shows a very established Justin and also a very established Alex and you’re still curious about what they’re going through, but it kind of felt like a rhythm we got back into.”
