Wizards Beyond Waverly Placeis back with a spellbinding final season, bringing back some familiar faces.

PEOPLE has the exclusive trailer for the four-part finale event, coming to Disney Channel and Disney+ in August.

The trailer begins with a flashback to the final scene of season 2, when Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) finds out Alex Russo (Selena Gomez) is her mother. Billie, then, wakes up in a panic and reveals to Winter (Taylor Cora) that that moment has been replaying in her dreams every night.

“Maybe it’s ‘cause three days ago you unlocked all your powers, opened a rift and the woman you just found was your mom jumped through it. And now no one knows where she is,” Winter responds. “You think that’s it?”

Now, Billie is on a mission to do everything she can to find Alex, even if it means giving up her powers. “If my powers are putting the people I love in danger, then I shouldn’t have them,” she says as she splits her magic wand in two.

Confiding in her uncle Justin Russo (David Henrie), Billie tells him she doesn’t want to lose anyone else. Justin hands her a new wand and reassures her, saying, “You should not be afraid of your powers. They’re part of who you are.”

Though the season 2 finale led fans to believe Alex may be dead, the trailer makes it clear that her story isn’t over yet. Alex wakes up in an apartment she does not recognize and wonders, “Where am I?”

After a knock on her door, Alex reunites with her ex-boyfriend Mason, played by Gregg Sulkin. The two embrace as they confess they’ve missed each other, and Harper (Jennifer Stone) comes out from behind the door to capture their sweet reunion on camera.

Billie as she is “still reeling from losing Alex at the end of season 2” and “discovers that the only way to rescue her mother is to reunite with her long-lost father,” according to an official logline.

“As her family bands together to find Alex, Billie realizes that their combined power is the only way the Russos can defeat the evil plaguing them.”

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place also stars Alkai Thiele as Roman Russo, Max Matenko as Milo Russo, and Mimi Gianopulos as Giada Russo. Damien Penwulf, Ramon Reed and Tobias Jelinek will make appearances in the series’ final season as well.

Along with Stone and Sulkin, the final episodes will see the return of Maria Canals-Barrera as Theresa Russo.

Henrie, 36, and Gomez, 33, serve as co-executive producers, and Gomez will make her directorial debut with the premiere episode. The original series, Wizards of Waverly Place, ran from 2007 to 2012.

Ahead of the season 2 finale, Henrie spoke to PEOPLE and revealed his ideal ending for the series.

“I hope that we can repackage a beautiful sibling message, factoring in where they’re at in life now,” he said. “Because I think as we get older, families go their separate ways and everyone starts doing their own thing, but that bond is always there and should always be there.”

The Wizards Beyond Waverly Place four-part finale premieres Aug. 4 on Disney Channel, then Aug. 5 on Disney+.
