The official trailer for the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place 4-part finale event was revealed today, including a first look at the return of fan-favorite characters Harper Finkle (Jennifer Stone) and Mason Greyback (Gregg Sulkin). A marathon of the 4-part finale event kicks off Tuesday, Aug. 4, on Disney Channel (8:00 p.m. EDT/PDT) and Disney Channel On Demand. All episodes will be available on Disney+ in the U.S. and select international markets on Wednesday, Aug. 5.

Popular nineties television idols with a passion for design and renovation will go step by step back into the iconic decade as they search for America's homes frozen in time in the new HGTV series Totally '90s House, premiering Wednesday, Aug. 26, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. A true blast from the past, the six-episode renovation competition, hosted by actor, producer and game show host Jaleel White (Family Matters), will follow two celeb teams as they scour the country for houses stuck in the 1990s - think honey oak cabinets, sponge-painted walls and mirrored closets - with each team ultimately picking their perfect throwback in need of a major overhaul.

The superstar teams will spotlight Brian Austin Green (Beverly Hills, 90210), Beverley Mitchell (7th Heaven) and Jodie Sweetin (Full House) going up against Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina the Teenage Witch), Matthew Lawrence (Boy Meets World) and Keshia Knight Pulliam (The Cosby Show) with help from Matthew's brother Joey Lawrence (Blossom). Backed by design expertise from mentors Carter Oosterhouse (Carter Can) and Sabrina Soto (The High Low Project), the competitors will face a massive challenge - modernize the dated spaces while preserving their nostalgic charm in hopes of creating the ideal '90s-inspired dream home - to win bragging rights and $25,000 for their chosen charity.
