Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel sign on for 'Boy Meets World' sequel series
Original stars to reprise the roles of Cory and Topanga
Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel) tie the knot in a Season 7 episode of "Boy Meets World."
Listen up, children of the '90s: Cory and Topanga are back.
"Boy Meets World" stars Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel - who more or less dropped off the radar after the ABC series ended its run in 2000 - have signed on to reprise their respective roles in the Disney Channel follow-up pilot "Girl Meets World," according to TV Line.
The potential new series will follow the young married couple - who tied the knot in "Boy Meets World"'s final season - as they raise their teenage daughter Riley, who has yet to be cast. The show will take the point of view of the daughter, just as the original series took the perspective of Savage's pubescent character as he moved through his teenage years and into adulthood.
Development on the pilot, which is being overseen by "Boy Meets World" creator Michael Jacobs, is currently in the early stages.
Are you looking forward to "Girl Meets World"? Let us know in the comments.

November 29, 2012 at 5:30PM EST Reply to CommentNO EFFIN WAY!!!! But I really do not think they should put it on Disney Channel. Only kids and maybe kids in early teens watch the disney channel, and alot of them probably haven't even seen Boy Meets World. I don't think it'd get alot ratings on there. They should put it on channel ABC channel... where it was on for the 7 years!
Angela Borte I agree! ABC Family shows re-runs mon-fri in the morning on the east coast. I watch it everyday! lol
December 2, 2012 at 4:45PM ESTjessica ballantyne i absolutely also agree to play on abc channel.. i just finished watching all the boy meets world episode for the millionth time on that channel....kids who watch family have no clue what boy meets world even was...
December 2, 2012 at 5:31PM ESTmary i agree as well, ABC Family would be a good channel because all of the people who watched boy meets world probably don't watch the disney channel unless they have young kids, but i know a lot of teens who abcf, and adults as well, probably will get more viewers on that channel! =]
December 10, 2012 at 9:49PM ESTtlws86 I'm sure the point is to get new fans, not old ones. I have kids and we watch Disney quite often. They have some surprising things on there that often remind me of Nick nowadays.

December 1, 2012 at 9:17PM EST Reply to CommentI can totally see Mackenzie Foy playing the daughter. She is the little girl that plays Renesme Cullen in the Breaking Dawn movie. The best part is that she is perfect age too!
ERICA YES I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MACKENZIE FOY PLAY THEIR DAUGHTER AS WELL. SHE WOULD BE SOO CUTE IN THAT ROLE.

Amanda I've seen articles where they say they won't they will have guest spots but the show revolves around cory & topanga and their daughter not the original cast. Sad i know :/
