Boy Meets World became a family sitcom phenomenon during its seven-season run on ABC from 1993 to 2000.
Created by Michael Jacobs, the show followed the life and life lessons of Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) from home with parents Alan (William Russ) and mother Amy (Betsy Randle) to school with neighbor and forever-teacher George Feeny (William Daniels). Cory’s life wouldn’t be complete without best friend Shawn (Rider Strong), brother Eric (Will Friedle) and his longtime love, Topanga (Danielle Fishel). Later, Shawn meets his long-lost brother, Jack (Matthew Lawrence), who quickly becomes part of the group.
Disney Channel premiered a spinoff titled Girl Meets World in 2014, which followed Cory and Topanga’s daughter, Riley Matthews (Rowan Blanchard), as she worked her way through school with her dad as her teacher. Most of the original Boy Meets World cast made guest appearances on the series, which ended in 2017, with others writing and directing several episodes.
“A reunion show that’s one and done. But to actually take the children of Cory and Topanga and watch on two levels [as they] grow up and as Cory and Topanga keep growing up, I can’t resist that,” Jacobs told Entertainment Weekly in December 2019. “I can’t resist that and I’m very hopeful the audience won’t resist it either.”
