Discussing the Wizards spin-off that was proposed on the Wizards of Waverly Pod, Jennifer explained: "I was told that it was pitched to Selena to do a Harper-Alex spin-off and she said no 'cause she had a lot of other things going on."
Jennifer then said that she thinks Harper and Alex having their own apartment in season 4 was initially to help setup the new show.
Understanding why Selena rejected the offer, Jennifer then added: "I get it. She had a million other things going on and she wanted to move forward. And honestly, at the time I wanted to move forward too. Looking back, it would have been great. But the thing is, where we both were at that time, we just wanted to explore other things."
A college style show with Harper and Alex as a roommates? What could have been!
