Remember Disney's "Wizards of Waverly Place," the tween series that featured a young Selena Gomez?

The show lasted four seasons from 2007-2012 and lives on to a new generation through streaming. And now the program joins the latest series to offer a reboot for new generation with "Wizards Beyond Waverly Place." Gomez serves as an executive producer and will guest star along most of the original cast members. But one original cast member — David Henrie — gets top billing as the star of the new show as he revives his character Justin Russo.

Henrie, who is also an executive producer, is back as with a new cast. Russo is a married father now who has been living a normal life until called upon to mentor Billie, a young wizard played by Janice LeAnn Brown.

Co-host Bruce Miller talks with Henrie and Brown about the new Disney+ program.

Back in the 1980s, "The Golden Girls" and "Cocoon" were among the notable titles to feature older actors, but those were certainly not the norm, especially on television with limited channels.

Now, in the age of streaming and the need for more content, actors like Jean Smart ("Hacks"), Kathy Bates ("Matlock"), Harrison Ford ("Shrinking") and Ted Danson ("Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Fargo") continue finding work and remain favorites not only with viewers but with those handing out Emmys.

In this week's episode, the hosts talk about the continued success these actors and others are finding and the reasons behind the trend.
