Boy Meets World fans, meet the best news you’ll hear all day.

TVLine has learned exclusively that Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel have officially signed on to reprise their roles as Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence in the red-hot Disney Channel pilot Girl Meets World.

The potential sequel series (which TVLine first told you about earlier this month) picks up more than a decade after Boy Meets World ended its ABC run and finds Cory and Topanga happily married and raising their 13-year-old daughter, Riley (from whose point of view the story is told).

The pilot is still in the very early stages of development with Boy Meets World creator and executive producer Michael Jacobs at the helm.

A nationwide casting search is underway for the role of Riley.

It's because the cast + characters were awesome (give or take eric's stupidity increase). The reason I see this show failing is because everyone is going to want those characters back. I'd have no problem with the show's synopsis if it were called anything else, but it being BMW 2.0 it sets up high expectations

people always use BMW as a good example of a show that transitioned from high school to college, but i hated the college years... especially because of eric's increased stupidity. he was cool in high school... then turned into a brain dead moron.

From the age group they'll be targeting I don't think that audience will want the old characters back... perhaps those who grew up with them in the 90s but the show isn't for them. Those born in between 1996-2000 won't care about the old characters as much.
