"Girl Meets World" Gets Official Pilot Order from Disney – Plus: Meet Cory and Topanga's Kid!

"Girl Meets World" has found its girl.

Rowan Blanchard will play Cory and Topanga’s offspring in the forthcoming Disney Channel spinoff of "Boy Meets World", TVLine has confirmed.

EW.com broke the news that the 11-year-old, who rose to the top of a national casting search, had nabbed the title role in the much buzzed-about comedy pilot — which the network has officially ordered; production is scheduled to begin in February.





The potential series picks up more than a decade after ABC’s TGIF staple went off the air and is told from the perspective of Cory and Topanga’s 13-year-old daughter, Riley.

The project secured leads Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel in November. In a Tumblr post written soon after she signed onto the pilot, Fishel assured "Boy‘s" loyal (and — judging by social media — super-jazzed) fans that the new sitcom would share “familiar faces, familiar themes and familiar messages” with the original.

It also shares a key behind-the-scenes player: "Boy Meets World" creator and executive producer Michael Jacobs is in charge of the pilot.



Blanchard’s credits include appearances in Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D and The Back-Up Plan.

So excited for GMW

Cool! I was about to post this myself. I think the casting choice is really good- I can definitely see her as Cory and Topanga's daughter. Hopefully this show will leave up to the good legacy of its parent series.:) :cool:

Will definitely be checking this one out. Thanks for posting.

Wow, she looks a lot like Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel. Perfect casting on that end!

I'm eager to see where this is going.

"Girl" meet your best friend!

Disney Channel’s "Girl Meets World" pilot has cast Sabrina Carpenter as Maya Fox, the best friend of Cory and Topanga’s tween daughter, Riley Matthews (played by Rowan Blanchard).



According to sources, Disney execs were first impressed by Carpenter when she was cast in the ill-fated Disney XD pilot, "Gulliver Quinn", with Jon Heder. Disney later hired her as the voice of a princess in the animated Disney Junior hit "Sofia The First".

Carpenter will next be seen as the tween version of Becki Newton’s character, Chloe, in the Fox comedy "The Goodwin Games".
