Disney Channel has ordered a fourth season of its Emmy Award-winning sitcom “Wizards of Waverly Place,” and is in development on the sequel to “Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie,” cable TV’s second-highest rated scripted telecast of all time in Total Viewers (13.5 million), Kids 6-11 and Tweens. The announcement was made today by Gary Marsh, president, Entertainment, and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide. Production on the fourth season is scheduled to begin in August with show runners Vince Cheung and Ben Montanio (“Married…with Children,” “Greetings from Tucson”) executive-producing. Todd J. Greenwald (“Hannah Montana,” “Saved By the Bell: The New Class”) is the series creator and also an executive producer.

The script for the Disney Channel Original Movie sequel will be written by Dan Berendsen (Disney’s “Hannah Montana: The Movie,” “Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie” and the upcoming “Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam”).

In making the announcement, Marsh said, “The Emmy win this past year confirmed what we already believed — this is a cast of superstar comedic talent, backed by an inspired team of writers and producers.”

The series stars Selena Gomez (whose debut album, “Kiss & Tell,” from Hollywood Records, debuted in the Billboard Top 10 and has since become gold-certified), David Henrie, Jake T. Austin, Jennifer Stone, Maria Canals-Barrera and David DeLuise. In Season Four, Disney Channel UK star Gregg Sulkin (“As the Bell Rings” and Disney Channel’s upcoming movie, “Avalon High”) reprises his recurring guest role.

“Wizards of Waverly Place” debuted in 2007 and won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Children’s Program in 2009. A proven fan favorite, the sitcom has been lauded for its portrayal of Latinos and has won Alma, Imagen and NAACP Image Award nominations.

Set in New York’s Greenwich Village neighborhood, the series follows the Russo family — siblings Alex, Max and older brother Justin, each a wizard in training, and competing with each other to determine who among them will get to keep their powers forever. They live with their Italian-American father, Jerry (who was once a wizard), and their Mexican-American mother, Theresa, a mortal (who prefers that magic not be used in the house). Alex’s best friend, Harper Finkle, is the only friend who knows the Russo kids have magical powers.

New episodes of “Wizards of Waverly Place” air FRIDAYS (8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel. A production of It’s a Laugh Productions for Disney Channel, the series carries a TV-G parental guideline.

Here’s a new promo for the new season of JONAS featuring footage from David’s episode.

Back in April David paid a visit to Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory, Fanlala has just posted these two fun videos of his visit, definitely worth watching!

Thanks so much to Sugar Mouse for letting us know in comments that David makes an appearance in the “Sonny With a Chance Blooper Reel.” You can see him at 4:40, so funny! Enjoy!

David was spotted at Terre Sushi last night with Elle McLemore and good friend Chris Rossi.

More pictures from last night’s 12th Annual Young Hollywood Awards are now up in the gallery. Here’s also a video of David on the red carpet talking about his hidden talents.

David and his brother Lorenzo attended the 12th Annual Young Hollywood Awards, both looking really handsome walking the red carpet, David even presented an award. I’ve uploaded pictures from the red carpet, show and cocktail reception. More pictures will be added as they’re released so keep checking back.

And for his next trick… Wizards of Waverly Place star David Henrie has conjured up a script! The 20-year-old actor says it was a “magical experience” to write the May 21 episode of the Disney Channel kidcom, titled “Alex’s Logo.” “Seeing words I wrote come alive on screen—it’s [been] a dream since I was a little kid!” But it wasn’t easy. “It’s the worst feeling when you write a joke and it doesn’t get a laugh,” he says. “It’s your baby! You put so much time in your script and then changes are made to it, but that’s the process and it was just great to be a part of it and learn everything.”

Henrie—who also appears on How I Met Your Mother as the future son of Ted—was also enthusiastic about getting the chance to add his youthful perspective to the story line, which finds his TV sister, Alex (Selena Gomez), experiencing a dip in popularity at school. “You shouldn’t worry about those stupid things,” says Henrie, who proves himself perfectly comfortable being the butt of the joke as Waverly Place’s dorky big brother Justin and for his upcoming recurring role on the Disney Channel hit JONAS L.A. Says Henrie, “I wanted to do like Seth Green’s arc on Entourage—come in and play the heightened, cockier version of myself. It’s good fun!”
