UPDATE: ‘Boy Meets World’ Sequel Details: Cory is New Feeny, Has 2 Kids
One of television’s most beloved series from the 90s, Boy Meets World, may soon be returning to TV, in a sequel series focusing on Cory and Topanga’s daughter. Now this is the part you care most about: Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel are in talks to reprise their roles as the still-married couple.
According to TV Line, The Disney Channel is currently in the early stages of developing the sequel series, appropriately titled Girl Meets World, and has reached out to Savage and Fishel to secure their participation in the project. This certainly is mind-blowing news for anyone who grew up during that time. But can it work? Absolutely.
Next to Dallas, Boy Meets World may be the most memorable series being sequelized to date. However, they were not the first. Back in 2001, the iconic, cult Canadian teen drama franchise Degrassi returned to the television screen with Degrassi: The Next Generation – which itself was the fourth sequel of the series, following The Kids of Degrassi, Degrassi Junior and Degrassi High.
Degrassi: The Next Generation followed Emma, the daughter of one of the original Degrassi characters, Spike, as she made her way through middle school, then high school. During its early season, past characters (played by the same actors) from the former series would show up, and were often given storylines of their own. Degrassi: The Next Generation had just as many adults watching the show as they had teenagers. Essentially, Girl Meets World is doing the exact same thing.
And why wouldn’t they, really? Boy Meets World was one of the iconic television shows from the 90s. Much like The Wonder Years, Boy Meets World allowed an entire generation to watch someone their own age tackle the challenges of growing up. Even though it rarely – if ever – touched on serious subjects, which Degrassi and The Wonder Years both did (Degrassi more so), that same emotional attachment is still there.
If anything, it’ll be interesting to see Girl Meets World come together. Because the cast of Boy Meet World spent so much time together, most of them are still all relatively close. So if Cory and Topanga are coming back, there’s a good chance we might be seeing Uncle Eric (Will Friedle), Uncle Shawn (Rider Strong) – Feeny (William Daniels)! Why not try to get as much of the cast back as possible?
While Girl Meets World is meant to focus on Cory and Topanga’s daughter, there’s more than enough ways to fold in the old cast, making it entertaining to generations young and old. And if they’re able to tell compelling stories, that’s even better. If Degrassi can do it, so can Boy Meets World.

Sometimes dude you jsut have to roll with it.
Most beloved? Most people that were older than 15 never heard of the show. But sure…I guess you can put it up there with the other 90s beloved shows like Seinfeld, The Simpsons, Friends, Frasier, or even the WB shows. Sure.
Putting it on Disney Channel would be a big mistake. All their shows are geared too much to the tween audience and aren’t very appealing to older audiences. ABC family would probably be the perfect channel.
They should put it on the same Channel as boy meets world (channel 49)
difina disney is making girl meets world so there probley going to put it on there network not someone eles network
Aka ABC
Bring it back on ABC and TGIF. Sabrina would be good too.
Boy Meets World was great the first three or four seasons.The Topanga/Cory storyline was the least interesting one.It was fun to see how they got together but when they finally did it was pretty boring.Also it became a little too serious at times.I don’t mind drama mixed with comedy but too often the drama took over.
agree. Eric and Feeny were the best parts of the show. and how would a girl protagonist be any different from the current disney crap – she will be a aspiring singer, actress, fame-seeker – boring. Leave well enough alone
if they could bring turner back for at least an episode that would be sweet.
BRING BACK FEENY!!
feeny died
I hope you don’t mean in real life because that man is alive, kicking, and currently acting on Grey’s Anatomy…
I think Hollywood has run smack out of original ideas lol
I wouldn’t watch it because I’m not a kid anymore. This is great news for the current generation of kids!
Now this is the part you care most about: Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel are in talks to reprise their roles as the still-married couple.
Hell yea , i loved boy meets world when i was a kid, i was about 2 years younger than Corey Mathews so i grew up watchimg the show and it is one of the most beloved shows i watched as a kid. I still have a super crush on Tapanga LOL, Now im 27 and my 4 year old watches disney channel all the time so being able to watch this with my son would be awsome….Although watching Tapanga next to my wife might be awkward
I’m 16 and I fell in love with Boy Meets World when I was about nine and lived in Florida for a month or two. I didn’t have many friends so it was great to just watch it. Even now, I try to catch the show whenever it’s on.
I’m a bit iffy about the sequel, as I am with every sequel, but I’ll give it a shot. I wish they would put it on ABC Family or really anywhere else but Disney.
cat abc family is own by disney since 2001 and they could put it on that network too
Never heard of the show, but I think it’s pretty cool if they could get the original cast back for a sequel that takes place so long after the original.
I remember that show. That was a really long time ago, I used to watch it though… a lot admittedly. I’m hoping this is as good as the originals.
They should man meets fatherhood
this is great news! boy meets world is the greatest show. it will only be great again is its still based in philly and cory shawn topanga eric and feeny r back as well. bring it backkk!
Won’t Ben Savage’s new nose be distracting?
Hollywood needs to just kill themselves instead of killing every show I have ever cared about!
HOLY GOD YES PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN AND SOON!!!
I’m just so out of “Boy Meets World”, I really don’t care whether this happens or not. It’s definitely not going to have the same affect as the original series, but it is what it is.
I feel like there are other shows they could’ve built off of movies instead of shows: “The Cable Guy” cartoon (much more toned down of course), as one example.
It’s on every morning between 7 and 9:30 on abc family (I’m watching it now). I used to watch it in the uk on Chanel 4 in the early 90′s and loved the early seasons before Corey went through puberty and lost his sparkle. Eric and Shawn are the real stars, so they better be in the sequel. The mum and dad are important too. Feeney (the voice of Kitt) is on Greys Anatomy at the moment and Eric is the voice if LionO on the new Thundercats. Which sister should come back (the 1st one was better IMHO)
I remember the show but I dont remember it being quite as iconic as the article states. Maybe its an age thing.
Can someone remind me why it was iconic besides the fact it had Fred Savage’s brother on it?
Best idea. I love it. Also, Feeny IS NOT DEAD. His role died on Greys. Don’t joke about such a thing!
When will it be on tv and what time
they will start doing the episode next mouth the show will start showing sometime this spring or this summer
The show is f***ing stupid and you all need to get a life
if u dont like the show why did u even comment about it will
Degrassi is not an American T.v where they gloruise everything. Degrassi talks about real teens with real issues, whereas Disney Channel has teens all wanted to be singers with no good moral messages. Putting Girl Meets World will be a big mistake they should’ve given the rights to anyone but Disney
